Urgent: Pegasos II needs Open Firmware update!

hopefully no one ruined theyre setup with this bug..

If they had im sure they would have no problem getting it replaced .

Ive seen bugs with items from nokia sony ,philips and loads of others so i would not worry as not many have been sent out and they have let people know early about the problem some large companies deny faults with there products .Firmware upgrades are needed on lots of pc boards as well so its not that bigger thing. :-)

Simple solution is to wait a while before you buy any new hardware that way other people who buy them find any bugs and you get one later on that has any problems sorted. :-)

Actually any PC user who buys the first revision of a brand new motherboard typically deals with the exact same type of problem. You should expect to flash the bios multiple times in the first year, and there will definately be bugs.

Thats true i have had to flash all 3 pc motherboards i have had ,1 jetway 1 asus my current pc board and a crappy msi that went wrong .
so this is as said nothing to worry about even the amigaone will need a firmware flash to use os4 . :-)

I was once instructed by a tech support person of a major motherbooard manufacturer to hot swap a bios chip. In other words I was told to boot the system by installing a bios chip from an identical board and start up the bios flashing program. I was then instructed to pull out the chip (whilst the power was on) and replace it with the original corrupted one to resume the flashing process.

That is a well known way of doing it and should work as they advise. :-)
