Bob, SVEESIX is a Trimble GPS engine. From the report, it is telling you that the model you have uses that engine with those version numbers. What are you looking to restore? Not sure I understand your problem.

Is this correct? If not, how do we restore? Thanks bob ========================================== >From all that I can tell, the Placer GPS400 from Trimble uses an engine other than the SVEESIX. I believe that the Placer was "updated" to the firmware intended for a unit with the SVEESIX internals. In that the Placer GPS400 is no longer supported, the correct "update" isn't available from Trimble. I was hoping that someone here would have the correct file(s) needed to make the Placer operate. We can communicate with the user interface portion, set the unit ID, and request messages (only in the Trimble format), but the position solution message(s) all indicate the 'initial position' information (Silicon Valley, home of Trimble Navigation. Can I make this back into a GPS receiver, or is it now a poor substitute for a paper weight?
