To the best of my knowledge there is no difference in calypso between GTA01 
and GTA02, though they are connected in a different way to CPU. Ergo: calypso 
firmware should be identical.
Anyway I will try to make sure with Tony and Harald today. (GTA01 was before I 
joined ;).
If I can find a GTA01, I simply will test. Either it works or it breaks, don't 
think there are subtle differences that would go unrecognized.
