- The info I have from Motorola about the Power 28.8
-
- Flash upgrade Version-4 is at my ftp site and should be on the
- motorola web site this week. I don't know exactly what it
- corrects other than my ring problem (would not answer incomming call)
- ftp://ftp.ntplx.net/pub/modems/Power288/flash/Version-4
- Version-3 was skiped as a general release.
-
- On 10-Feb-95 Motorola will announce the upgrade path for the Power 28.8
- The upgrade path may NOT be to the Premiere 33.6, but would be a
- mail-in, change the chips on your Power 28.8 to make it a Power 33.6
- The Power 28.8 does require a hardware change to run 33.6K V.34+ standard
- Something about a DAC chip needs to be changed. RAM DP modems have
- the same problem as ROM DP modems...so there is no difference between them.
- (no idea of cost, time, or options on the upgrade plan)
-
- The Premiere 33.6 is not shipping currently do to a part supply problem
-
- The Premiere 33.6 should cost about $100-$150 more than the Power 28.8
- The Premiere does have FLASH CPU and FLASH DSP and supports 33.6K V.34+
