The patch is to search for the following:

0C 40 00 22
63 00 00 84

^^


and replace it with:


0C 40 00 22
60 00 00 84

^^

Finally, save the change.

I tried it and it works, BUT OnLine! SURE SLOOOOOWS down the system.
I thin I will still switch as soon as I get home from a couple of
business trips.

Cheers, Dave

PS.  Thanks for the tip Harv.  BTW.  Did you notice the SLOOOOOOW down also
or is it just me?  It seems much worse than on my A1000.

PPS.  BTW, has anyone noticed a similar slowdown with ATalkIII.  A few folks
responded to my earlier post (thatnsk again), but I wasn't aware of this
effect at the time in 2.0.
