No, but I'm surprised you see a difference between 2.1R and -stable ... There shouldn't be any ... A diff of ncr.c between those versions does only list two ID strings and an #ifdef that evaluates to the same value as before ... Can you please send more information on the error symptoms ? The NCR registers just report of an aborted command, with no further hint on the reason.
