It has been an eventful afternoon.

I'll try to get a newer version installed tomorrow.

I just learned that I have have a device ordering problem on the
scsi chain.

Looks like the robot may be interfering with my second sdlt in
the shoebox. Though I don't expect it to be causing a problem
with the sdlt within the robot case.
