[EAS] Sage update coming in Sept.

[Steven White]

I just selected "Other" and typed in 89-34.  It adds the equipment to the equipment list with no issues (you need to remove the entry with the prior firmware).  To resubmit, though, I had to check the "certify" button at the bottom, then go back and type in "89-34" in the software version again before clicking "Submit" as the very next click.

Any attempt to move off the software other version field adds the equipment list and clears the "Software version" field, and you can't submit the form with that field empty.
