Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2006 10:48:55 -0400 OKAY, OKAY...... as I know none has been able to sleep because doesn't know whether I manage to do the update or not, I shall let you know............... B-))) Followed the instructions to do the flash update, and it worked flawlessly ;-) I first used the old flash I had, gave me the warning about old loader, but worked OK. Then I found the new flash files on the blind page, and uploaded that version, to finally run the .ucl again; it now boots into the 2.5 version in just two or three seconds........... ;-))) I now need to look for that small chip I bought to so the memory upgrade........ I wonder whther I still have it or not........ I guess not, and will have to buy one from one of you guys....... :-p Cheers, MO On 2/15/06, Matias Orchard <matias.orchard_at_gmail.com> wrote: > Hi there, > > I hope anyone can help me here.....
