Thank you Rob!!!...you da'man!  I searched all over that support site for this
thing and I could not find it for the life of me.  I was able to download this
puppy and it's pretty much what I needed.  I checked with a friend of mine who
used to work at Dell and he doesn't think it's really even needed, because the
docs don't really mention anything more than the fact that version D07 is 
needed in order to see the 300/333MHz processors.  I think that Dell tech
support uses the eisacfg utility to make sure that the processors are installed
properly...just a guess.  Thanks again.
