I suspect it's the sudden run on that particular FCO.  Bill
mentioned that they were looking re-evaluating that particular
one on friday.  Friday I did five systems (which they put as
five separate case numbers).  Especially if they are running
out of U1 motherboards, they probably would retire it so they
don't run out for their support customers.

Were your Ultra 1s 200s before the swap?  Or is that just what
they shipped you?
