Is there any management of the Hardware Manufacturer Numbers used by Autoconfig that were assigned by the Commodore Amiga Technical Support in West Chester, Pennsylvania in the past?
(as mentioned here googlecode.com: AUTOCONF.TXT)

Everything I was able to learn about these things is shown here:

Olaf Barthel is as best of a maintainer as you may get, since he owns the relevant OS sourcecode. Though I'm not sure how to get to that discussion on UtilityBase anymore.

From what I remember of the story, there were two files storing the database at Commodore. They moved buildings and lost one of them or something, so some IDs may be lost. I've forgotten any good detail about what I think I'm remembering here.
