Terminal
In this example, the first 00 is the bus number. This is unused
and will always be 00. The second 00 is the slot number. This is
unused and will always be 00. The number 04 is the sa device
number. The number 02 is the port number.

This is important if you will be using transparent printing on the
auxiliary port of the terminal.
