Thanks much for all the answers in got in under 5
minutes!!!!!! I can ahead and start my firmware
upgrades.
Go with V5.7 for ALL your boxes. They're not
cumulative, just use the latest version available.
That's the one I've used for many machines - you'll
find they inherit
their own versions, depending on the hardware type.
e.g.
DS10&20 - 5.7-8.
DPW500au 7.2-1
and so on.
You can usually check by "consvar -g version" in
multi-user.
