Two questions real quick guys:

1) Can the Snap OS be "downgraded" from V4 to V3?

Reason I ask, is I swore I would never buy another Snap server again due to adaptec buying them out, and I sold all the ones I had, minus a 1000 and an 1100 (can't ignore the convenience of this tiny footprint). I now find myself in a pickle, and am looking to pickup another 1100, but would rather stick with v 3.4.805 since I am used to it. I took my existing Snap 1000 and 1100s and "imaged" the drives and did a drive upgrade, and tucked the origional drives away in case of disaster. So....I have v3 OS, but I am conerned about using a V3 OS in a Snap server that came with V4 OS (do they make any firmware changes???) I don't need AD support, and really even large drive support isn't necessary for what I need to do.

2) How many active connections does the Snap server support in a Windows File Sharing environment? I recently hit the 10 concurrent connection limit in 2K/XP, and need a quick workaround. I am not familiar with any true Server OS configuration, and the Snap Server is about as quick a workaround as I can think of since I am already very familiar with them.

Thanks!
