It's not quite so dire as that. The firmware updater that can be downloaded from GV/Boca will update the Japanese Platinum Pro cards - it just has to be told how to recognise the card. One of the resources in the updater app needs to be edited with Resedit to add the current firmware version of the card, which can be obtained via an AT command (ATI#, where # is probably 5 or 6). I did this independently (and successfully) to two cards of mine, but there are better instructions detailing the procedure on the net - try Resexcellence or another similarly inclined Mac site. Running the update this way completely replaces the firmware, making the card indistinguishable from one sold in North America other than the serial number and former certification. However, I believe the original poster was having trouble using the card as an ethernet interface rather than a modem (hence the Subject), in which case the firmware revision probably doesn't matter. The problem they were having is probably due to not having the proper driver installed; the most recent version is required to use the PPro or 56K combo card with OS 9 (this can also be downloaded from the GV site, and extracted with Tomeviewer). -- Marc Sira | [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you can't play with words, what good are they? ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
