  I have in my hands a DELUA with the "86x0 fix" installed. Here's the info,
in case anyone else needs it:

  The board is an M7521 at CS revision "K1". The firmware EPROMs are 23-465E4
and 23-466E4. There's a _serious_ amount of green wire on the board, and the
Lance chip has been changed on the board. So the changes may require lots more
work than simply changing the EPROMs. However, this should be enough to let
you check if your board is up to rev.
