Rick ,
Interesting question. After reading it and John's reply, I decided to 
give it a try. I am writing to you with the result of that experiment. 
I am using a MDDP 1.25 that had 10.2.8 on it and now is upgraded to 
10.3.4 . I used a restore/ install disk 10.3.2 from a DP 2.0 G5  and 
then let auto update it to 10.3.4. I have found no differences in 
operation than my other boot drive, that I used a retail copy of 10.3 
to begin with on its install. Hope this helps you some.
