9.7 fixed bugs (were there bugs? :-) in 9.6. 9.7.1 added support for the
DN3500 and some measure of compatibility with SR10.

PSK1, applied to SR9.7.1, produces SR9.7.2. This gives you support for
F-series graphics and the FPA floating point accelerator, by updating
gprlib and color6_microcode.

PSK2 contains the functionality of PSK1 and adds support for the DN4500.
It may be applied instead of PSK1, or after PSK1.

Of course, I recommend using none of these and installing SR10.1 to
give yourself the better inter-environment operability that it provides.
