Sorry - I was sick and out of office.
The phy_id reads 0x01410cc1.

    I doubt I can find this level of detail .. We have many of these 
    machines in the field so they may have different part numbers.
    
    I may have been given some incorrect details on the issue. I'm not 
    currently sure this errata code is related. I'll let you know when I 
    have more information.
