Ok, I did a little research. I had to install acroread (xpdf doesn't read encrypted pdf, whatever that is), it appears VPX supports asynchronous PCI while VP2 doesn't. Which means, FIC PA-2007/2011 are PCI=CLK/2, while PA-2010* are PCI=33MHz or PCI=CLK/2 (I don't know if they give you the choice). Satoshi
