KA650-AA is used in MicroVAX 3500/3600 and KA650-BA is used in VAXserver
3500/3600. The only difference is that they are different :-). You see, DEC's
stupid proprietary OSes want to be able to tell between a MicroVAX and a
VAXserver for stupid licensing reasons. Many VAXen had MicroVAX and VAXserver
versions that differed only in licensing, and DEC wanted to enforce this
"difference" by sticking an identification bit somewhere.

ESA0 is the Ethernet interface of BabyVAXen which is based on the AMD LANCE
chip and doesn't even resemble DEQNA/DELQA. The VMS/VMB name for the latter is
XQA0.
