Yeah, 9.0.9 was the last free release. I believe Lucent started their  
practice of gouging, err charging, for bug fixes and upgrades with  
TAOS 9.1.x.

Also, for your Max4K's, TAOS 7.X was the last release. I used 7.0.22  
or 7.0.4 with good results on a lot of those.

And there are no legal issues with these TAOS versions. I 'm not sure  
what the previous poster was implying, but those software releases  
are the ones that were freely available for anyone that had a Max  
chassis. And they are freely and officially available still... but  
definitely totally unsupported.

Good luck.
