Lane,

  Here's the problem:   THe 6xx/Sxx boxes required V4R2 to run and that's where
the -16 book comes in as it lists all the hardware for that series.  Now the 
V4R3
software came out prior to the 7xx announcements and so the test was written to
6/Sxx hardware and V4R3.  Its probable that the V4R3 version is also usefull so
long as you only read the software parts!

  I would suggest the term 'picky' rather than tricky.  Tricky questions are NOT
allowed.  Certainly there are questions that to some candidates appear that way
but they are NOT intended to be so.
