I was just wondering what kind of custom Kickstart is included with the Vampire. My 2.8 Gold shows version 44.72. which is not part of any known releases.
 
  Do you have a list of all the included libraries/versions that are included with this kickstart?
 
  - Are there any plans to make updates to the kickstart in the near future?
 
  - Is there a way to use your own custom kick start?
 
  - How is this comparing to 40.72 from Hyperion which includes the following updates:
 
      *exec.library 40.12
      *strap 40.3
      *workbench.library 40.6
      *scsi.device 40.21 for A600
      *scsi.device 40.21 for A1200
      *Same binary as used for the A600
 
  This Vampire is an Amazing product....
 
  Thanks

  Tools like SysInfo, SysInspector, Scout etc. will give you list of all modules in memory

  I would not call that updates but just "version bumps" :-)
