I downloaded Rev 4 from the Motorola ISG web site; but I didn't run it
because, when I launched the Mac flasher application, it put up two alerts
that said it was beta and for testing purposes only. (I am a little gun
shy of modem flashers now because one of them stuck my Supra 288 in flash
mode -- hence the new Moto Power.)

Did somebody at Motorola just forget to remove these warnings?
