  11. Our DEC Field Engineer came out this afternoon to see whether or not
  12. we had the floating point problem.
  13.  
  14. He didn't have a software test for this problem.  Instead, he looked
  15. at the revision of the daughter board.  His notes state that anybody
  16. with rev b01 or greater will not have the floating point problem.
