I've been known to do that before. :-/

I've found the opposite to be the case, and you usually don't find it
out except in critical moments by grilling SEs.

Couldn't tell you, as it's been well over 2 years, and I haven't
touched one since.  (The last place was all brand-new Netras, not
a shred of old Sun hardware in the place.)

I'll put it down to faulty memory (mine).  Maybe it's memory in
the first 4, and then not required after that?  I only have an
SS20 (and an Axil 320 *bleh*), or I'd have double-checked myself
before mailing in the first place.  That'll teach me to stick my
foot in my mouth.
