Hello painkiller
I was in contact with DCE in august 2007. I spoke to a nice guy telling me all i needed was a disk to flash some of the firmware to upgrade to rev 2.
He also told me he would send the disk, gave him my address and contact e-mail.
However.
Still no disk received.
I am tild DCE do no longer support ANY amiga related product.

Regarding the disk.
I do not know what was supposed to be on that disk. or what it would do to the BPPC.

I have a REV.0 200/040-25 with SCSI.
and have severe problems with using BVision.

AFAIK the update from Rev.0 to Rev.2 would require a CPLD update which can't be done using some sort of bootdisk like the normal flash update.

I will not argue with you on that.
But that's what the guy at DCE told me...
(sounded a little to "easy" though)

What other "benefits" does the rev2 BPPC have over rev0 instead of G-Rex -compatibility?

Fully functionally BVision.
