  I wasn't even aware that there was an F revision of the BT946C. Any idea
  what was changed on that from the E to the F revision?

My understanding is that the only difference between the Revision E and F
cards is that one of the three firmware/BIOS sockets is no longer present
on the revision F.  It seems this chip/socket was never actually used for
anything, so it was finally removed in the latest revision.  It was left
empty on the Revision E boards I have which I think led some customers to
worry that something was missing from the board.
