BG> I think you'll find that only relates to the Winmodem,

That seems extremely bloody unlikely given the name he uses for it,
and the fact that he appears to be saying that that batch is just
the latest which had previously had socketed roms in the previous.

BG> which has a sort of programmable ROM instead of the usual EPROM.

No news. Pity thats not called a 'Sporty 33.6'
and in fact DOESNT even DO 33600.

BG> And you accuse ME of jumping to conclusions without
