On top of everything else there are 178 computers on the 320
(I counted 'em) and can go wrong at anytime. What HPbleed

FCOMs are all redesigned so forget the old refs you came to

then have an idea that its written somewhere in Power Plant
section of the PRO ABN's.
And knowing your Memory Items in toto goes without saying.
