This list is great! 2 responses instantaneously, and 7 in 15 minutes.

        The DS20 (or any EV6 box) requires a minimum of 4.0E. 4.0E with patch kit 1
is about equivalent to 4.0D with patch kit 3. One reply noted that some
patches in 4.0D pk3 aren't in pk1 for 4.0E, and expected a pk2 soon.
        A reply from Compaq regarding 4.0F was "4.0F should be out in april, as
forecast". I was also notified to look for ADVFS Utilities release 436 from
the patch site as we run ADVFS.
        The patchkit is located at:
