Someone has promised me a copy of the latest (last)
firmware, but I don't have it yet.

Okay, you have the integrated shelves.

No, but I can look around.

Okay, I put a copy in the anonymous ftp directory on
dittman.net.  All I have is a .ps copy, but I can
generate a PDF if you need (just tell me whether
it is for printing or viewing on screen, so I know
which one to generate).

You have a BA35x shelf, just a different model.  The real
question is, which one?  I'll do some research and see if
I can find out.  Can you get any specific model number off
the back of the installed shelves?
