Until there are more data point that relate to revisions of devices you
are stuck.....there are already 12 combinations of chipsets.....
Find the folks that have this 82c596/597 pairing that are u33 limited and
compare notes. Obviously you have a newer system.....I have not data on
that system.....

Cheers,
