We just got the following from a customer, I believe he got it out of
a DECUS notesfile. Anyway, it gives the various revs of microcode for
all the fddi products. These are revs we have never heard of, we don't
know what enhancements/fixes are in these revs. They are not on the
Sept CD rom release. The Sept CD rom contains DECBridge 500 V3.0
and DECconcentrator V3.1B
Can anyone give us any insite on these new revs?

This list looks like something the SSB might have pout out in some report. It
is wrong and shouldn't be used.

*DECBRIDGE 500 3.1 QB-YX3A8-AE 21 JUL 92 32.28.04
QB-YX3A9-A9 RELEASED
There is no such thing as DECbridge 500 3.1 firmware! We never released any such
product. I don't know where this came from.
*DECBRIDGE 500/600 V1.2A QB-MF8A8 29 JUN 92 36.23.04
QB-MF8A9 RELEASED
This is the latest firmware for DECbridge 500 and 600 series. Ignore the suffix
as it only indicates that a change was made to the kit for packaging reasons.
The firmware revision is V1.2.
*DECBRIDGE 500/600 1.2 QB-MF8A8 22 JUL 92 36.23.04
QB-MF8A9 RELEASED
This is the same as above.
*DECCONCENTRATOR 500 V3.1C QB-YX2A8 21 JUL 92 32.29.06
QB-YX2A9 RELEASED
This is the latest firmware for the DECconcentrator 500. Ignore the suffix
as it only indicates that a change was made to the kit for packaging reasons.
The firmware revision is V3.1.
