I'm sure that these devices were far more common on VMS system.

I'm certain that VMS managed to distinguish how many lines there are on 
the board without some external user input.  I only have driver listings for
VMS V5.5 which is more than likely before these devices existed so that 
isn't a good place to look.  If someone can come up with a technical or
user manual for this board, or specific info from an OS driver we can 
readily add it.
