What were your reasons for returning to 2.0.27,
I'll bet one of them was not the NCR driver ? (correct)

This works just fine.

YES, Although it was version 1.12c ,
Also Gerard supplies patchs from this version to v2.4a (<-I beleive)
on the ftp site .
2.0.31 (NOT recommended) has v2.4a .
2.0.32 (very highly recommended) has v2.4a also.
