Mark,

Could you pls. handle me your "official" link/s.

I'm sitting here with an 'old' 270 donated from a customer,
but without User Id's and PW's (exactly your situation) :-)

Only difference.... the box has been 'sleeping' in a corner
for some time just collecting dust, and therefore comes up
with an 2763 9010 = Cache data associeted with attached
device cannot be  found.

But I guess I just need to get into DST and do a  Reclaim
IOP Cache Storage.
