The 550B's were ok... but the 1100 series and 1250's with the funky
block mode bit. The 6312's also had that funky block mode (the 6312's
were Lear Siegler's with different firmware -- and the 6312+ jobs
were Link models -- and the early rom emulation wasn't as good.

The block mode was mostly used for the Reliance database...
Kind of IBM-ish 3270 wannabe stuff.
