I'm fairly sure the reason for dropping the old cards is that the on-board memory which holds the firmware isn't large enough to hold the newer firmware. I can't find my documentation for that at the moment though. Feel free to test and I'll confirm it later if I can find the info. I'd suspect it doesn't work though since they provided a different firmware (ucode2) in the past. -Joe
