FDDI SMT is up to version 6.2.  Version "7.0" or "6.2b" or whatever
will be coming out real-soon-now... probably after the April meeting.
Not sure where you can buy the standard, but the vice chairman of the
committe is Mr. Floyd Ross from UNISYS.  His address is UNISYS, 
P.O. Box 203, Paoli, PA 19301 and phone number is (215) 648-7200.
The draft standard (6.2) was published May last year, I think.

FDDI-II is still on-going.
