Tried to install unzip per your instructions and received "out of memory" error. Apparently need to upgrade for more ram. It also did not like the "." in "unzip541xQ.bin". I forget exactly what the error was now. Tried changing it to "_" then "not found". Dir however showed it was in the directory on the hard drive.
