And my best info is that MCP-2 was applied to my eCS, shortly after the base install. But I don't know exactly which components get serviced by that.

You may recall, during the Trap-E thread, that I went looking for some items like ic32802. You suggested that German site, which I scoured without finding this. Subsequently, I did find it on the eCS site. But now, I'm left
wondering whether these (separate) mini-fix archives would be outdated or redundant for me ? (And I don't know what safeguards -- if any -- may be built-in re avoiding redundancy or unintended backlevelling of components,
when you go to install them. My impression is that IBM never did that good a job in the area of systematizing component version levels. Archives are released, withdrawn, superceded, repackaged with different file dates or
archive names, leaving confusion behind as to just what is what. That's why the WarpUp cd, with its system analysis tool, was such a revelation.) My eCS Inetver reports as 6.3. I've seen some of the *same* files from this
group listed in newsgroup messages, claiming the same version level, but they have different dates or file sizes than what I have.

Maybe the short answer is that if what I have seems to be working, leave it alone . . . . And that might go ditto for the testcase kernel I haven't bothered to switch back from.
