Is the deskside also a Reality (aka RM8)? If it has RM7s or RM9s
then that is correct.

KONAL means KONA (which is the code name for IR gfx, including Reality
which is simply a cost reduced IR) on an IP27 board. KONAS is KONA
on an IP25 board, and just plane KONA (from gfxinfo) is KONA on IP19.

One thing we did do was to keep all the flavours of KONA identifiable
by IR*. Why Performer returns a different result for pfGetMachString
when it is indirect as opposed to direct on Reality is beyond me.
