Unless you have hardware affected by a fix (esp. specific 256MB Sandisk cards on Meridan) or you have DirectRoute, my personal advice is to remain on the lowest number above 4.06 that works with your hardware and mapping programs. Some folks on the list are happy with the newer versions, so it's up to you to decide.

Please note you have to use Fortuna made USB cable to update the firmware and when you use the cable, it is better to take out the batteries. Please find the firmware upgrade instruction from the GPSmart download page.

Early S2000 readers used an EEPROM that became obsolete and the socket was changed. These readers cannot be upgraded. We do not sell the EEPROMS but for later readers (Firmware v 1.32 or later), you may be able to get a third party to copy the EEPROM. The EEPROM is ATMEL AT27C512R.

While the older Versions (98,ME,2000,XP) of Windows were all good operating systems, none them were designed to cope with the magnitude of dangers on the World Wide Web in the year 2008. These systems just weren’t designed to handle the nasty stuff that’s out there today. Most of these systems that I see either won’t boot at all or are so slow and/or plagued with so many error messages that they are practically unusable.

It's easy. Locate your old Swift 3D serial number through the 'About Swift 3D' Help Menu command in your program and then visit the store and choose Upgrade.

Next I open up the WET11 and take out the bromax pcmcia card that is inside, and install it in my laptop. I got the windows drivers from here: &www.bromax.com/ That zip file from demarctech should come with station firmware 1.1.0 and primary firmware 1.4.9. It should also come with a program with winupdate that you use to load those firmwares to the bromax card.

Whenever you download the latest version of WinTally, it will contain the latest version of MicroTally firmware. When you connect your MicroTally unit with WinTally you will automatically be notified by WinTally if it has a more recent version of MicroTally firmware available and you will be prompted to upgrade the unit. WARNING! If you have data in the MicroTally that you are going to be downloading, do not upgrade until you have downloaded the data.

EDITOR: Download it, read the firmware FAQ, unzip it, connect your Set top box to COM1 and run the upd_com1.bat file Thanks, I will let you know if this fixes the problem. Incidentally I haven’t checked if the unit gets hot but it is not stacked. Matty… Your unit is most definitely stuffed. If it is heating during the recording phase then this is due to the internal power supply having trouble pumping “juice” to the hard drive.

First, you will need the SDLT Update utility from Quantum. You can get it Here You will need one SDLT tape that you can write the firmware upgrade file to the tape. You will then need to get the firmware from our site (link here). Next, start the SDLT Update program. It will automatically scan your SCSI Bus when you start it up. Select the drive that you have the tape you wish to write firmware to in it. When you have selected the drive, click on FUP tape.

I get a "SP" or "Service Pack" error message when loading the CD ROM supplied with my unit.

The upgrade ensures the latest firmware and hardware combination, and therefore cannot be performed by the end user.
