Yet more information on hp2621 dvorak option . . .

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 (?)
