       Sort of a side note here.. can you get the GVP controller or the
 Hardframe with an ST277N and have the WHOLE drive FFS WITHOUT having
 the 1.2 roms in my 2000 replaced by 1.3 roms? Is this type of thing
 possible? I don't need it to autoboot.. I'll wait for 1.4 and the
 other improvements it is suppose to bring.
