Ah, I see.  I believe that may be the actual parts list from the monitor
manual specified, which I believe was preliminary.  I believe the the
current limiting boards were both changed to the current part list in later
versions, and hacked on the earlier versions to use the 2N3906.  Speculation
mostly...Tom added that table, so I don't vouch for that part ;-)
