They don't.  It's stuck at version 1.24, it seems.

It doesn't even get that far on my newer machine - it won't POST, as it 
get stucks with some "BIOS expand" message.  I was hoping to use the 
3940 in my new machine, and my 2940 in the old, but that's not going to
work out.  Maybe it's time to buy a faster card...
