- You've cracked the code Fred. Now we'll have to create a whole new corporate
- part numbering system. An example of what you have described is as follows:
-
- PMAG-BA Factory Installed HX Graphics Adapter
- PMAG-BB Field Installed HX Graphics Adapter
-
- PMAZ-AA Factory Installed SCSI Option Module
- PMAZ-AB Field Installed SCSI Option Module

- Thanx,
