That's interesting. I now have quite the surplus of TS's hanging around and haven't ordered any since my FC crash issues. I don't understand how companies feel it's acceptable to release different code without stating what's changed.

I don't have first-hand experience with this, as we haven't bought a toughswitch in, well, forever now. We do have tons of extras though...

After last night actually, we replaced *10* toughswitch pros with 2 netonix switches at core sites, and even have one at a very remote, and very hard to get to site.

I would love to find a "new" one with 1.3.1 if anything else, to simply take it apart and see what changed. I did one of the original forum "toughswitch teardowns", complete with switch chip PDF link and pics.
