    Thank you Thomas, for your input ...

    I should have mentioned: I am assuming I would have to replace the PROM with
    the version 2.25R. I understand that this version of the PROM is necessary
    to recognize the Ross processors through 150 MHz, but I don't hear too much
    about processors above 150 MHz.

    Any insights are appreciated.

    Lou
