I don't know if 3.2F is the latest, but it's more recent than mine (3.1A).
CMS seems to update the software several times a year. This is my 3 or 4th
update within 1 year, and I only bought the drive around February of this
year! Updates seem to be free. Got 2 updates from the dealer and another
directly from CMS. Don't know for sure, but I think that all of the Pro
series of drives auto-parks itself. This is important for any Mac II drive
since there is no way that you are going to be able to park the heads, 
return to the finder then select "shut down" without unparking the 
heads again! I have a non auto parking hard disk and I'm forced to use
the hardware on/off switch in the back.
