FWIW, older 2940U's and older 2940AU's do/can/have a good chance/ to work with a Copyright of 1997 or 1996. 2940UW's with Copyright of 1997 or 1996 still wouldn't work in my cases. Newer ones no way. -Roger To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
