Ah, all good things come to those who wait.

"patience is a virtue"

An hour later, it had locked.

Meanwhile, this is what I have inside:

Boot Code - Tymserve_2100
  Rev 1.1   12/20/1996 13:07:21
Main Code - TymServe_2100LD
  Rev 2.85  11/06/2000 10:23:29

Is this the most recent firmware for the 2100LD?
