Hi, John,
That is really baffling why these 600s won't work together. The bios
upgrade to 1012b went smoothly. With the dual 350s, or the single 600,
post indicates bios revision 1012b. I checked the markings on the
600s. One has:
600/512/100/2.05V S1
00290020-0122 COSTA RICA
'98 SL3JM
The other has:
600/512/100/2.05V S1
00280385-0072 COSTA RICA
'98 SL3JM
They seem identical to me. I'd be interested to know how your next
upgrade goes. Thanks,
Hidong
