That doesn't match my symbol firmware.  I have 1.50.12 in my '737A.
I'm told that there's newer firmware available and that it works
fairly well.  I think it is available at intel's web site and contains
a download program for windows.  I've heard reports of people hacking
the windows driver info files and using the intel download program on
other symbol cards.
