We have:

There is a typo in the geda = text:

It seems to be required and made invisible, it doesn't say = what is the

So,

A = bunch.

grep '"device"' gnet-*.scm

. what kind = of values do they exspect ?

The = section "Built-in default prototypes=E2=80=9D=  at https://github.com/noqsi/gnet-spice-noqsi/wiki/Reference&nb= sp;lists devices that spice-noqsi recognizes. spice-sdb recognizes a = similar list, but handles each device with Scheme code rather than macro = expansion.

Other back ends have other devices that get special = treatment.

. can we make = a list of legal values ?

I believe that all back ends treat any = value as legal, with default behavior for unrecognized values.
