This dratted bug again.  I hope they fix this in 1.2, but just
to be safe, I am going to yank my 8013 out of the system when I
do the install and rebuild a kernel (the offending probe was for
a CDROM if I remember right).

What you do if you have an 8013 and a CDROM of the offending
type, I cannot say.

Email me and I know I can find this info for you.
(in case you haven't got it already.).

Spray paint or an engraving tool.  :-)
