No, it's right there. Remember that Github displays are case sensitive, so all
the machine directories (being upper case, apart from "alpha") come first, then
the lowercase ones such as "doc".

That's rather confusing. There's a controller setting that specifies the
device type (which doesn't make much sense since device type is a unit
