I'm not getting my head around what you're saying...

> No, they're DMS. From the "HP 1000 M/E/F-Series Hardware Technical Data"

Ok, so the 13306 numbers I mentioned are DMS. And DMS is required for FFP?
Odd.

I thought the manual said "does not have the...DMS... 13307B option 100 must
be ordered..." (not 13306B). And 13307B only contains PART of the FFP? I was
thinking the 13306B was strictly DMS based on the above and 13307B was
strictly FFP.

> The "ROM Part Number History" from the "Communicator/1000 for Software
> Update 6.0" (HP 5951-6201) lists those ROMs as part of the "E-Series Fast
> FORTRAN Processor ROMs (modules 33, 34, 35)." E-Series DMS ROMs (module
> 32) were 13307-80027 through -80032.
I thought we established the 13306 numbers were DMS, not 13307-80027 through
80032.

> The next update combined the 1K FFP and DMS ROMs into the set 13037-80033
> through -80035 and 5090-0589 through -0591 (4K ROMs).
Now I'm really confused. The 2100A/S is so much simpler :)

Sorry, my brain is being dense today! I will stare at the history chart in
the CE book and see if it gels in my head.
