Hi all,

I have flashed the new bootbox on my v2 recorder. It works great --
no toast! :-) Then I put the Sept 1st rombox daily build on there as
well. Normal boot works, F1 boot goes to bootbox which then rolo's.
After that, I removed the AJZ file, F1 booted, and saw that bootbox
asked to go to USB mode. I was able to do that.**

** is for the fact that my v2 recorder often needs 2-3 USB
connect/disconnect/connect before Windows sees it as a disk drive. It
does this on all machines. Bug or just something with my unit? It's
done that from day one.

Thank you for your work on this!
Mike
