Oh, you mean the "non-standard" interrupt swapping (and other strange things you guys did with the T1k's BIOS) is finally gone? We can use our standard peripherals without hacking the boards now? Thanks (my customers will also thank you; we do third-party retrofits of HDs on your gear and now the cost can be a little more reasonable) - although you're too late for my computing dollars. The T1k's incompatiblity stunts turned me permanently off.
