Hi Mark,

Odd, someone else was just asking about that version a week ago. 
Companies come and go, websites are subject to fad, products become 
unsupported. But here are 14 versions from my personal archive:

Also, can you tell us why you're asking, what's special about v2.4, or 
how well an XLi still works these days?

In general it's a great-for-time-nuts miracle that GPS receivers from 20 
and even 30+ years ago still work fine. I used to think Western Electric 
and Micro-Soft were rare examples of olde tyme respect for backwards 
compatibility, but RS-232, WWV/WWVB, and GPS/DoD/2SOPS are also on that 
list.

Let us know if you need more help. Pretty sure many of us have Datum / 
TrueTime / Symmetricom gear from that era and can help you out.
