I remember a problem I had a year or so ago where I was using
the K3 (Mac) utility to load all the K3 microprocessors'
firmware. I was failing on loading one of them and restarting it
did not cure the problem. I got around the problem by loading
just that specific piece of firmware. I vaguely remember seeing
a bug fix for the utility that seemed to be my problem, but I
could have misinterpreted the README. I haven't had the problem since.
Bottom line: Try loading just that piece of firmware. Then load
the others separately if they aren't up to date.

It doesn't sound stupid at all, Rick. I just went through the same
exercise with a K3 I'm rebuilding. On loading it the first time, the
load failed mid-step. Trying to redo the firmware load, the utility
couldn't even find a K3 attached. But it was because of the state of
the serial port driver (or hardware maybe), not some failure at the K3
or within the K3 Utility program.
