Willy,

It looks something like this:


Address--> |    0  |   1  |   2  |   3  |   4  |   5  |   6   |
           |--------------------------------------------------|
P          |       |      |      |      |      |      |       | 
o      0   |  00   |  01  |  02  |  03  |  04  |  05  |  06   | 
r          |--------------------------------------------------|     
t          |       |      |      |      |      |      |       |
s      1   |  07   |  08  |  09  |  0A  |  0B  |  0C  |  0D   | 
           |--------------------------------------------------|
           |       |      |      |      |      |      |       |
       2   |  0E   |  0F  |  10  |  11  |  12  |  13  |  14   |
           |--------------------------------------------------|
           |       |      |      |      |      |      |       |
       3   |  15   |  16  |  17  |  18  |  19  |  1A  |  1B   | 
           |--------------------------------------------------|


You set the real address (0-6) on the device(terminal/printer), but use
the hex address (00-FF) when creating the device on the /400. If I
remember correctly, you can only attach 8 devices to a 5294, even though
there are 28 possible addresses.

I always keep a copy of this chart plastered on the wall at all our
customers' remote locations, 'cause it's just too damn hard to think in
hex sometimes.
