- Which conclusion? I made several, all based on what I've read on
- Motorola's Web page and what we've seen in this group from Motorola,
- either posted directly or forwarded here by a Motorola customer. We've
- read here that the Power's data pump is not flashable even though early
- models were made with flash memory in the data pump. We've also seen a
- message supposedly from a Motorola employee (although I'm not sure how
- much credence to give this), which said that the Power design was intended
- from the beginning to have a non-flashable data pump, and that the use of
- flash memory there was some sort of stop-gap measure. From this I
- concluded that the software and/or hardware support in the modem necessary
- to flash the data pump must not exist.
-
- As for the Power, it is advertised as having a flashable data pump. See
- the first bulleted item on
- <http://www.mot.com/MIMS/ISG/Products/premier336/features.html>. I can
- only assume that if they are advertising this ability then they must
- intend to use it.
