Those are ROM versions I'm talking. BTW I have an original rev A box down
in the basement. The number on it is 820-0064-A. The rev B is 820-0064-B.
Then there was another A, 820-0087-A. I have one of each of those plus a
pair of grey IIes. Seems they have slightly different rev #s but I'd have to 
double check that.

That isn't what I was doing. I was only talking ROM versions.
