I'm aware of the early ones with the issues. I don't have one of those,
it's a C2 or D1 rev, can't remember which offhand. It's 18 months old.
Bought around end of 2008.
I did get some error messages in my terminal when it was having
problems, but they'd been whisked away by some other errors related to
commflagging before I got a chance to
copy them. I haven't dug into my logs yet.
