The oldest set I have is 2.2.6 the 4cd set. It's solid enough and useful
that I never tried later. I keep the set as my backup case the system
needs a new drive.

I've got a set back to 1.0.2 if anyone needs it... IIRC I also rolled
out a 1.1.5.1 or was it 1.5.1 set just before the mandatory move to 2.0
and the removal of the AT&T embargo'd files.
