Thanks for the reply. Let me/us know what the bug ID is of what you end 
of submitting as I have this feeling it will all end up be related and a 
fix in one will impact the other.

I haven't flashed my wx8000 nor moved it from F9 as it works quite 
nicely and don't want to mess. Not to mention I really don't want to 
deal with what happens if I make a mistake in flashing.

The bug was submitted against x4000 which no longer have BIOS updates 
and I know they are at the latest.

Plus, I have to admit a floppy drive is only a convenience for me, not a 
mandatory.
