Dear Art (and others listening),

It is an HP959/200 KS using MPE/iX 6.0.2.

Standard, RR (although you get online demo for 30
days whether you need it or not.)

Don't bother Roadrunner, this was determined
over a support call to Roc yesterday.  Where
I performed multiple tests using both DLT and
DDS on 5.3.2 and my current 5.0.2 version.

Hi Tracy :)
   Ok... I have to ask... for what platform and version (online vs.
standard) is this BackPack 5.3.2?

Art "hmmm... where was that number for RoadRunner? " Bahrs
