 New features in version 6.00:
 =============================

6.00:1  Performance: Enhanced overall performance
        Running on the latest generation of the Axis ETRAX chip
        family, the ETRAX 100LX, and with PC100 SDRAM memory, this
        firmware achieves a significant increase in performance
        compared to previous versions.

6.00:2  Memory Expansion: SDRAM module support
        Expanding the memory of the StorPoint CD+ is easily achieved
        by installing a standard 168 pin SDRAM PC100 or PC133 module.
        Please visit
