Yes, in fact meachmachine.ch is owned by David Gerber (Zapek), who does
some code on Voyager. He is a notorious anti-WarpOS guy.

In fact, Zapek is a supporter of PowerUP, and a fan of Ralph Schmidt...
(we have nice fighting from times to times on fr.comp.sys.amiga...) If
Ralph Schmidt made an anti warpup flashrom, it may well have been sent
to Zapek, and so end up on meanmachine.ch. I wouldn't thrust this
flashupdate anyway :)))

Yes, indeed. Anyway, I think I will try it, just to check if really
warpup doesn't works with it... And if they gone as far as preventing to
downgrade to the previous version of the flashrom, I'll may have to hack
the flashing program to do so. I'm used to anyway :))
