Yeah - it does not make sense to show the difference between 1.04 and 1.10 - maybe at the time when there should have been only 1.10 left for sales - otherwise it may seem that genuine 1.04 is also fake... Indeed. Even more so because I have not succeeded finding good photos of a 1.04 with the …

Lost the ring-bound manual for my EISA Mylex caching disk controller, along with all the original disks. It's quite an old pcb / bios version and all the online stuff is really for later versions which had numerous changes.
