SB 157 20th June '05    New v 8 Sound Operating System (O/S) for the White Star CPU/Sound II Board
 Note: This new version O/S v 8 will not improve the sound of a working board with an older operating system, it will only correct a compatibility issue with using an older board.
LOTR LE comes already running the  O/S v 10 code so this is for information only.

SB 167 22nd Aug '06    SAM System Fuses and LED Staus Indicators.
SAM I/O Power Driver Board (520-5249-00) so on LOTR LE only.
