Umm could be tracked by macaddress I would think I'm sure they keep a log of it SOMEWHERE.

I for one have not seen any documentation on what they changed on each revision
I would like them to also change the rev #'s if I didn't keep making a new
folder for rev 1, 2 and 3 I would easily get them confused the last three revs
all are 0.01.06 when I as doing beta testing we ALWAYS changed the rev #'s so
as NOT to get confused or anyone else for that matter..
Another thing I suggested is a date code on the units so it is VERY easy to
track which units might have problems.
Instead of guessing we thing some units starting in may June etc..
This is how the date code works
3/A the 3 stands for the year it I was made and the letter stands for the month
A being Jan and so forth we had our manufacturers in Taiwan do this for us and
it was always very helpful to the end user and to us in diagnosing problems in
the field or in the shop you could just ask the customer "turn the unit over
please tell me the date code" yes its 2/b okay sir yes you have an affected
unit blah blah blah. GREAT time saver.
