And if you flash the wrong chip there is maybe a point of no return. One reason for the lack of interest may be the price of equipment they apply the patches on. An EOS 1V is not something you buy for testing any hacker skills :-) -- Best regards, Dieter mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
