Yep, but that was on a NPE-300. The "no support" message indicates that
Cisco hasn't spent any time verifying that the code actually works on a
NPE-200. The likelyhood that they introduced some fishy code between
12.3(19) and 21 is small, but not zero. So what they actually is saying
are "you can run this code, but if it breaks, you won't get any help by
us".

BTW, the NPE-200 goes EoL very soon (Jan 27, 2007). I don't know about
any date for the 7204 chassis, but the 7206 goes EoL the same date as the
NPE-200.
