We have had our share of problems with 580's and 5200's also. You must be
careful which system software you use with them. Most of the 580 problems we
had were traced back to the system CD version 1.0.1. The correct version to use
for the 580 is 1.1. It is written in tiny characters at the bottom of the CD.

The first 5200's we got had CD's labeled 5200/75. The next few were labeled
for 5200/75, 5300/75, 6200/75. I always try to use the most current version.
I figure they fix little glitches and don't tell anyone. You also need to be
aware that they have released an upgrade for 7.5. Upgrade 2.0 has been
mentioned on here by a few others on here. It is a huge file 20 megs or 14
individual 1-2 meg disk images. The documentations list a bunch of fixes. I
have installed it on 4 machines in the past two days. It is working so far.

Good Luck,
