Basically yes, although I want to do it in 2 stages. stage 1 : small program which does XMODEM. stage 2 : load the firmware and flash. stage 1 loader would be loaded using DEPOSIT. > In this case, maybe it's the easiest thing to just squeeze the firmware > update MOP image into it and start it.

I guess the tftp image should work as well, at least I don't see why it would not. > If it fscks up your box, we can still take the soldering iron. > > > > http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/linux-vax/usr/firmware_dumper/) > > > > Good idea. > Ok. > Send me the patch once it's done:-) > See attachement. It probably needs more testing though :) Cheers, Peter (p2).
