- Dan,
-
- I really doubt that they'll ship the beta eprom with their production
- run. You'll probably have to call their tech support, wait on long
- distance hold for five minutes and ask for Sirlin. Demand that he
- release you their beta eprom 1.14h or higher. Yes, the beta release
- DOES solve the error correcting problem I was having. But who knows
- what else it introduced? I don't mind being a beta tester, but I wish
- I'd have known before I bought the production run <grin>.
-
- BTW, I've spoken with the Aussie, if that's what he is, but I deal
- mostly with Gaby or Sirlin.
