Well, thats not good news. Ironically, a while back I was also looking for a
later v4.x distribution with the idea of doing a 'gradual' upgrade of our
11/785 (currently v4.3) to a later version which would allow us access to
more modern storage. Were currently using RA60's which only seem to last about
6-8 months between drive crashes.
