RE: HMC updates ?

["Jim Oberholtzer" <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob, 

I agree, and that's why I did not blindly suggest the upgrade to 7.7.8.

7.7.7 is the newest release that is currently on the web site compatibility
lists. You need a CR3 or C05 or later to get to 7.7.7.

Jack,

Maybe this doesn't apply to you but others should keep in mind that some of
the older HMC's won't run the latest and greatest HMC code.  Like ours. 
(upgrade planned).
Also, you should ensure that your level of firmware is compatible with your
HMC code.
