Sure, it's possible. 5.2.1 is very close to tracking -CURRENT, and there can be some fallout after people make changes to APCI, the ATAng code, and whatnot. However, I have to say that the EPIA hardware tends to be fairly sensitive to things like poor IDE cables, jumping everything according to spec, etc. -- -Chuck
