Re: 80col Card

Okay, I see that reference now.  I was looking in the
wrong place for an explaination of what it was. I figured
that the symbols probably were reference to the connections
on the card edge connector of the card but what they
meant was a mystery.  The FRCTXT looked like it
would mean Force Text but what AN3 was I didn't know.
