Sorta- the IGS is the same processor as a CSC/3 card in the CGS/MGS/AGS & only supports 10.0 (as it's highest version). If you ask any more questions about the IGS, I'll be forced to say "I don't know." This is the one router I have avoided purchasing, because of it's limitations. I an used IGS the other day @ work... to prop up a 6509, while trying to screw it into a rack :-) I was glad we had that IGS laying around. The only "cheap" good routers (meaning 11.2 Enterprise or better) as the 3000's. Pick up a cheap 3102 (1 Ethernet/ 1 Serial- but this one needs a boot ROM upgrade) or 3202 (1 Token/ 1 Serial- does not need a boot ROM upgrade) & change the RAM to 16 Megs & you can download 11.2(18) compressed. That is the absolute cheapest way I know, to get a useful router... Good Luck !!! Phil PS- no on the ROM's... the 3000's are 32 pin EPROM's & the 2500 are (???) ROM's about the size of your finger tip. All these 3000 to 2500 boot ROM's you occasionally see on Ebay, are transfer reburns. Someone has taken the code from a 2500 11.0(10c) & burned it on an 8 Megs 32 pin EPROM's (Cisco never offered them... Cisco wanted the 3000 to go away & everyone to buy a 2500's :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Circusnuts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Craig Jensen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, November 05, 2000 4:44 PM Subject: Re: difference between 3000 and 2500 system image files > > Phil, > > Isn't an IGS essentially the same code run as well?
