Several ;-) As things stand you could do:

  OldWay.find(:first, :conditions => ["id = ? and version = ?", id, version])

but as I said the other day, it would be better to declare the 
primary key for that model properly now we have the composite
keys plugin. So add:

  set_primary_keys :id, :version

to the top of the model, then you can do:

  OldWay.find(id, version)

Lots probably, but this is an unusual case as it involves a composite
primary key which rails doesn't natively support...
