That is my understanding. I haven't cracked mine open because that voids the warranty. I think the newer GB-1000's only needs to have the bios flashed. The older ones need the flash, but they are also running out of space, and that is why they want to replace your unit instead of fixing it.
"The retrofit program updates the firmware on an existing GB-1000 firewall, which will allow the customer to upgrade the appliance to versions above GNAT Box System Software version 3.4 Eligible units: Serial numbers 51001240 and above only" Somebody post the firmware, and I'll do it myself! ;-) -----Original Message----- From: Gus Zader [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 09, 2004 1:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [gb-users] GB-1000 retrofit program Having gone the GB-Flash route I had to wonder about the GB-1000. For the most part, isn't it just a 1U PC with an IDE/Flash drive? Couldn't you just upgrade the flash module inside to a 64MB card (from the original 16MB)? Has anyone taken one apart? Or does this perhaps have something to do with the high availability option? Just curious, Gus -----Original Message----- From: Chris Green [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 09, 2004 12:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [gb-users] GB-1000 retrofit program If you are in the $300 bracket, sure. We had a few from the *early* batches. It's $1700 for us. I would much rather spend $795 on GB-ware license and run it on a pc.

I'm not particularly enticed by any of the new features, but I don't want to be left out in the cold when new software updates come along. What do you guys think?
