Are you sure? The latest seems to be at least bl33i, and NOONE has gotten
it through SDC, but only via the (IMHO) expensive Colorado based support
services. If you have Colorado support bug them til you get the latest.

We pay for CDROM based ConDist service, and though I can understand
(but not agree with) their reluctance to SHIP thousands of 9tk and 
TK50 cartridges, DAMNIT they could at least put the latest patched
version on the CDROM. 

Note that that is not rev B or C or whatever, but I. They have had 
a LONG time to get this to the field and have FAILED. They are too busy
writing code for the DS90 due out shortly with TCI/IP and LAT at a price
to undercut ALL current 3rd party boxes. If they suceed, maybe I will
forgive their slowness in fixing DS200 s/w. But since they are going
to retrofit TCP/IP on DS300s, I would also LOVE to see it on DS200s, too.

Anyone want TCP/IP on a DS100?...
