According to soekris.com (http://soekris.com/Software/changelog.txt) there is a comBIOS 1.30 available - with the following changes: comBIOS vers 1.30 * fixed bug from 1.29 with LBA disk translation * fixed net48xx Serial COM1 RI noise SMI lockup Since one of these fixes relates to (CF) disk translation I would try give the comBIOS 1.30 a try... The last net4801 I ordered was also shipped with the comBIOS 1.29 - but that gave me some problems - that the 1.30 fixed. Please also note that the comBIOS 1.29 cannot be downloaded from soekris.com - the 1.28 and 1.30 can - maybe that is a sign that the 1.29 is "no good" ? Just my 2 cents Kind regards Uffe _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
