Rob,

"RDM Ready" really is a generally meaningless statement. Most all products built within about the last 10 years now have been "RDM Ready" in that they had the physical hardware for doing bi-directional communication. It's just that there was no software to do it.

Early on before RDM was released many manufacturer's were using this to mean that their product would be upgradeable in some fashion to do RDM after it was released. RDM has officially been released for a couple years now, so the only real question is "does it actually support RDM or not. If not, then when?"
