    Steve -

    For what it's worth, we have 3.2.1 on a genuine 9500/132, and it
installed without a hitch. As for the emergency disk, you have to make one
with Norton's Startup Disk Builder after installation, as the one included
will not work for the newer machines.... Catch-22.

    Do you have another machine on which you could install NU, and then
copy it to your PowerWave over the network?
