You cannot brick the 6501 since you can always enter uManager and fix things. Speaking from experience, I tried several programs (minicom, cu, gtkterm, picocom) in Linux and ALL of them failed to transfer the bios image file. I actually managed to make my 6501 not boot since the upload had written some data but not a complete bios image. I ended up using a trial version of hyperterminal for windows 7 / vista on a windows machine. http://www.hilgraeve.com/hyperterminal-trial/ Good luck! -- Marcus Larsson, Stockholm, Sweden <http://kore.hack.se/contact/> _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
