PSP-2000 MODEL WITH THE TA-88v3 MOTHERBOARD CANNOT RUN CUSTOM FIRMWARE AT THIS TIME!

What I'm looking for is information on PSP-2000 units. If you've purchased a PSP-2000, please list the box code letter. It's almost impossible to find this information on the net, I figured it was time to start a thread about this.

PSP-2000 Original Boxstyle Box Codes (Thanks to Alek @ Dark-AleX.org):
(No Letter) = 3.60
A = 3.71
B = UNKNOWN
C = 3.72
D = UNKNOWN
E = 3.80
F = 3.90
G = 3.95 / 4.01 (TA-88v2 / TA-88v3)
A PSP with G and the 4.01 firmware is most likely a TA-88v3 motherboard, so it is advised that you stay away from them.
