I also have two A700s and Sony CS told me the later one was actually redesigned to improve some faults on the first generation. It was about 10 months after the first one
Greg:
After mixing up file names and dates in between different cameras I have, I decided to format the card everytime I insert my CF in a camera.
I was getting into the habit of treating the cards like a roll of film, I had quite a few spares and I bought a new one or two every now and then and when one became full-ish I'd replace it with a fresh one. So I've got a few that are still full of the images I took on them.

ps. Winston my service manual is a revised edition and contains what I took to be some updated parts on the A700, there is some diags. showing some items in blue. The 'notes' say that the items in blue have been revised. There seems to be four (so far) of what they call 'control switch blocks' these include the control wheels (both are contained in one assembly unit and include the button switches on the top deck) the mode dial and the focus selector switch and ribbon.
