LOL, my calculations put me at a December attempt, I think you should push yours back! :)

And, being that it's not something we're tested on, I'd rather spend that precious time labbing and not being concerned with these Frame WIC's. I swapped them out for WIC2T's (I actually put them in all 10 devices, using SmartSerial cables). No issues. Thanks again for all of the input the feedback. Happy Labbing. PS- Anyone planning to Lab in the last quarter this year in San Jose, CA.? I'm shooting for October and I'm trying to get Steve DiBias to quit weining out and take it with me. ;) (How's that for a call out, Steve...?)
