Subject:PPC Update :(

Hi,

Well since my e-mails yesterday got all skewed and mucked up. Basically, I
need to know from anyone whether the following results from the 'BlizzPPC040Update'
program show that the board is defective in some way. This is what I got the
first time around; so was nothing I did, okay guv! :))

--- Output ---

1>BlizzPPC040Update

Blizzard 603e with unknown Mhz
Check for clock argument
Error no clock specified
---

So i then used:

--- Output ---

1> BlizzPPC040Update 160MHZ

Blizzard 603e with unknown Mhz found
Check for clock argument

Unlock flash: done

Stage A:

Stage B:
....
Stage C:
.
Emb Prog: Sector 0 is protected
Error 31:
Ooops you're in trouble now
Close all doors and wait for the end of the world
or rerun the program

---

And have rerun it many many times. I followed DCE's instructions perfectly
to the word. I even switched off for 10mins - not two!!!

I never reset/rebooted whilst the program was in operation. 32Mb fast page
SIMM was plugged in.

Is the PPC I bought a turkey? Could it have been damaged in its package with
the royal mail? Will the flash rom on http://v3.vapor.com work?

HEEEEEEELPPPPPPPP! :))

It's a blizz ppc 040-25 (XC not LC) and 160mhz 603e, 32Mb SIMM and 16Mb simm.
the 64mb simm has been put on hold..... ;)
