I emailed Mesa to inquire about purchasing, and it looks like I would want the firmware set to support the Gecko 540. (that is the only Gecko controller they list support for). I asked if that was compatible with the Gecko 320 and did not hear back from them before I guess they went home for the weekend. So, can anyone tell me if my 320's will be compatible with it set to support Gecko 540s? My guess is they are compatible, but I want to make sure first. Thanks!
