           Conf - Device Configuration File

      DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
           ////rrrroooossss////ccccoooonnnnffff is the device configuration file which is read at
           system startup time to automatically configure the device
           boards.

           Each board in the system is assigned a unique physical
           identifier; each type of board has a unique type identifier.
           For example, the tape drive has a device type equal to 32
           (20 hex).

           At system initialization time, all the device types are
           found by reading all the boards in the system.

           Entries in the configuration file contain a device type
           number and an associated  device driver program file name.
           Each field is delimited by a ':' and each entry appears on a
           separate line.

                device type :  file name

                For example:  :1:/drivers/fdlp

           When the system is started, the system reads the types of
           all the installed boards.  With each board's device type,
           the system searches the ccccoooonnnnffff file for an entry of its type.
           If found, the associated file is assumed to be a device
           driver and is loaded and started. There is a one-to-one
           relationship between the boards and the conf entries.  If
           there are multiple boards of the same type, a separate ccccoooonnnnffff
           entry must exist to start a driver for each board.

      EEEEXXXXAAAAMMMMPPPPLLLLEEEE
           The following device boards are present in the system:

           _b_o_a_r_d          _q_t_y    _t_y_p_e
           FDLP           2      1
           Tape           1      32
           Color Display  1      48

           file:          :1:/drivers/fdlp
                          :32:/drivers/tapedriver
                          :48:/drivers/metheus


           Files corresponding to device type 1, 32, 48 are loaded.
           Note there are two FDLP boards; both are started.

           With the load enable switch set (warm-boot, cold-boot) the
           device types for each device in the system is listed.
