As I mentioned in my first post on this thread, FIRMWARE VERSION 40 OR
LATER (some say 39 or later) eliminates the requirement for the
special adapter card.  I believe that is a late 1990 release by CMS.

Would people who write in about this please list their firmware
version?  It gets awful confusing if you don't tell the whole story!
