It seems it was mostly newer 7XX units but we don't know if the older

the units were not switching-over to the internal battery powering
correctly and files were being corrupted and/or lost. John Harmon and
Dan Dugan were the primary reporters as I recall. I'll be able to
provide some feedback about the performance of may early production
post upgrade soon. Rob D.
