   I'd be VERY interested in hearing the reply to this statement. I
purchased 1.0.6 for the PS2 Mod 80 because it was all that was 
available, even though 2.0 had been released. I continued to receive
the small question cards asking me if I want to upgrade to 2.0x, but
when I called to get specific support information, it was always for
AT class machines only. Well, it's been about 9 months or so now, and
I wouldn't mind upgrading to get the latest support and fixes(some
of which shouldn't have had to have been fixed in the 1st place if
ISC had simply done it right). So what's the scoop? Should I have
to completely re-purchase the product? I should hope not!

I guess I should state that it's been about 3 months since
I've heard from or bothered to call isc. I kind of get tired 
of talking to people who I feel I have to pry the information 
out of them with a crowbar. They sell the product. They support
it. They should be able to answer simple machine/version/support
pricing questions.
