SVR4 tape "mount xx"?

2015-06-11 Thread Chuck Guzis
I'm fooling with some AT&T tapes for System V, Rel. 4.0 and I see, along with the various "proprietary" and "copyright" stuff on the tape (paper) label and the description of the contents, the notation "mount xx"; e.g. "mount D5" or "mount E2". Exactly what does this mean? --Chuck

OK, I have 10+ of the M3106 and M3107 boards, but if the print sets are filed under M3106 and M3107 instead of the option name they might take while to get to. I usually work with board numbers rather than option names, but some options have several boards. I'm slowly getting everything, prints,

Hi Pontus Please define which two the colours differ between. Is the current version with the vertical switch position correct? If that is the case then the other one with angled switch position lines and dividers between groups of lamps must differ. The two colours
