Latest ROM version for 6509 chassis Sup720?

[jkeeffe]

I have an older 6509 with a Sup-720/MSF3 engine running 12.2(18)SXE3

I want to upgrade it to 12.2(33)SXH5 and need to install the compact flash adapter and a compact flash card so that I have enough memory for the code.

The instructions in the CF adapter install states to download the latest SP ROMMON, which they say is c6ksup3-rm2.srec.8.4.2.

My ROMMON version is 7.7(1) so I definitely need to upgrade it. However, when I go to the Cisco download area, I don't find any 8.x.x code, I only find 12.2(17r)SX7 (c6msfc3-rm2.srec.122-17r.SX7)

Will this ROMMON code work for me? Did I end up in the wrong software download area, and is there another download area that has 8.4.2 or later code?

When did they switch ROMMON code from 8.x(x) train to 12.2(17r) train? That is a major renumbering effort.

it has been a while, because there are SX5 and SX6 before SX7 came out
