They do. That's why I said, "I don't know why they printed that." They did
discuss it with Apple, and Apple confirmed that it was related to the Video
stuff.

There is something that I would like to know which has not been mentioned
anywhere yet that I know of. How is the video implemented on the SE/30?
Does it look like a Nubus Card, did they fake it another way, or what?
