Hi: Yes and no... I'm currently running a 7600/200 with OS 8.1 with CQ 3.2.1 on both a Calibur and Vantage. I have not had one problem with either system. I too called BD tech support and chatted with a very helpful lady that told me the BD couldn't support that specific set-up as they themselves haven't tried it. However, she told me the OS upgrade with CQ 3.2.1 was working "in their hands" on platforms above and below my configuration. She did not anticipate any problems but of course, could not render BD's offical OK to upgrade my systems. Bottom line: Try it. If it doesn't fly, revert to a previous version. Hope this helps, David
