I did a little personal research here at Ampex, and at least 2 2621's that I know of support the dvorak option under the languages config. menu. I believe they were bought just under a year ago, just as the changeover from 2621a to 2621b was being made. In fact, we ordered 7 2621 terminals from hp, and got half 2621a's and half 2621b's. As a curious note, my husband works at hp's data terminals division, where the terminals are designed, and he had never heard of a dvorak option on the 2621. None of the 2621's he found at work supported the option. I tried it out on a 2621 owned by someone else in our building, which was bought earlier (about 2 years ago now), and hers doesn't support the dvorak option either. The option seems to have sneaked into the 2621a software sometime in the last 1-2 years, and disappeared when the 2621b came out. I really don't know about the 2621p's, but my husband said he tried the option on one of them, and it wasn't supported. Hope all this is enlightening (?) -deborah gronke bennett fortune!dsd!atd!avsdT:deborah
