You sure seem offended, which is very unfortunate.  Again, I'm
very sorry that I somehow assumed that you'd know what I meant.

I should've supplied more information, I'll do so in the future

The firmware should be the latest, V7.3-1.  (As I mentioned
in another thread.)  What is shown for your systems?

I had no idea the EV8 ever made it into production, or am I
