I don't have a B2-2, so I can't test that.  But I don't know of any 
reason why it wouldn't work.

I just loaded Q2D07 on a B1. It seems to be working okay from the 
firmware side of things - I can do copy-nand network accesses and "dir 
nand:\" and things like that.  But the kernel is hanging somewhere in 
the early startup - no kernel messages on either the screen or the 
serial port.  I'm not entirely surprised; IIRC that B1 was flaky the 
last time I tested it, which was some time ago.

Oh, I see what is happening.  This B1 has a bad 14 MHz clock - the OFW 
diags caught the problem.

So my best guess is that Q2D07 is good on everything B and later.

We aren't supporting A-test anymore with the EC code.
