Subject: Re: adding another OF database rebuild byte to the e200 bl

Re: adding another OF database rebuild byte to the e200 bl

I'm not sure what happened last night, but I redid the dumps and got
it working, it uses the same sector/offset as the other -A versioned
OF, so it might be contstant values for the -A and -E versions? is the
radio the only thing in the american version not in the eu version?
