Alex, The bootloader is essentially same on both 7.0x and 7.2. It really comes to issue when you are trying to upgrade form 6.x to 7.x, especially the mPower.

Hi Joseph, Yes, I can see where that might be an issue. But what would happen if you installed the 7.x bootloader, then the 7.2 upgrade. (Don't try this, folks, unless you're prepared to take a risk - it might cause harm!) And thanks for the correction, it's appreciated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joseph Lee" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Braillenote List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2006 12:31 AM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] SEQUENTIAL KEYSOFT INSTALLATION? > Alex, > Actually, you need 7.0 in order ot install 7.2 properly because the > bootloader is different between 6.x and 7.x.
