Right, and that's why I qualified it with 2.1 (I pushed for that to be
spec'd BTW, because of this very issue of FPGAs and FPGA
configuration)...since there are millions and millions of 2.1 spec'd
motherboards out there that most of these boards must be made to work
with...it's a good idea to pay attention to the fact it wasn't spec'd in 2.1
and earlier...and some "older" system board don't meet that spec.
