Re: Src B200-8105 on early i5s.

Yeah, like A is where PTFs are applied permanent, B for temporary application, 
and we normally, of course, run off of B.

Now is there also a "permanent" flashing of the FSP? IIRC, we are normally 
supposed to be running on the T side, right?

I must admit, I've pretty much just stumbled my way along in this area.
