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.  Smelled too much like another company with a
3-letter name :-)
