Hi,

Yes, "device_type" is the correct spelling according to IEEE 1275-1994.
Actually, the glossary has the following to say at the topic:

Note--This property can be created with *property* or with *device-type*.
Note the spelling difference between the property name ("device_type")
and the command name "device-type". This is an historical accident.
The property name should have been "device-type" for consistency with
the naming convetions generally used herein, but changing the property
name would have resulted in compatibility problems for little payback.

Is there any box out there which spells it "device-type"?

Ciao,
Wolfgang
