Enable igmp snooping on 3500XL 12.05)

Trying to enable igmp snooping on a 3500XL 12.0(5) switch.  

when I enter ip igmp snooping, I get invalid input.  
When I enter ip igmp ?, I get ambiguous command.
 When I enter ip igmp, I get incomplete command.   (!)
When I enter sh ip igmp snooping, I get invalid input.
 It doesn't recognize snooping...

Hi:

That's what I did.  I was in config mode.
Gives me invalid input at "snooping"


What type of image do you have EMI or SMI?  Check by doing a show version

The 3500XL switches do not support igmp snooping. Here is the link;

Really.  I've been instructed to turn on multicasting throughout the network.  I've got the 6506 and 6509 multicast enabled.  What good will it do if I can't do igmp snooping on the switches?  They are all 3500 or 3500XL.  Just got in some 2960s.  Any work arounds without replacing equipment?
