I guess I just take a dim view of letting an existing library fall into
disrepair. Once everything is collected and organized, it shouldn't take much
work to allow it to be available ... even if you want a disclaimer ending
support for the legacy products.

I believe that is true of the 2930s as well as my 2920C, hence the apparent
parallels for the two cards.
