Check the "Device Info" panel under 'Settings' menu.

The "initial_factory_*.bin" files are not model locked, even if you had the wrong file for your model, it would let you (attempt) to install it.

Aw crap! I had written the FW down before I went into the hospital for my hernia surgery. It was 5.8.7.0.1 and it's now 5.8.9.2. So I just went thru the FW check given at the top of the thread and this jailbreak won't work. Do I have any options? Is there another jailbreak that will?

You say that the process would allow me tot try updating the kindle, even though it won't work. My experience as listed above, is that it won't even let me try, since updating is always greyed out.
