- Well, there are two things to know, one is what version of the ROM
- is on the card, and the other is what rev of the software. I used
- an ICD successfully for a couple of years (in fact it's still here,
- I couldn't get it to work with my GVP combo and it wouldn't work
- in the Slingshot Pro either).
- Anyway, I had upgraded the ROM once or twice from ICD. They also
- sent new software for partitioning & such too. As I recall the
- later ROM wouldn't allow use of the early software, I think
- there was a change in icddisk.device.
-
- So your bud needs to post whether there is a ROM revision listed on a
- chip on the board, and run a VERSION command on icddisk.device.
-
- BTW, I used it under 2.04 and 2.1 for quite a while as I recall.
