Cyberstorm MK2 firmware and keyboard problems

[X-ray]

No no, that was to help you with your 'boot menu' question  ;-)

[Doobrey]

I thought it was only the MK3 that had the bootmenu?
I've got a Mk2 040 here with the v8.9 firmware, I can grab the firmware tomorrow ..bit of a shortage of power sockets right now!

@ X-Ray

He he, didn't get that one But there's no mention of a bootmenu; so I guess the MK2 doesn't have one then...

@ Doobrey

If you could do that for me that would be great!

[X-ray]

Ja, when you asked about the boot menu I knew you didn't have manuals.  :-)

@ Doobrey

Is the firmware the same whether it is an 040 or 060 MKII?

I have the MKII with a 060 on it and I ofcourse i would like to help you, if you can give me a link to where i can get the firmware update program so that i may send the firmware to you.

The backup program can be found here:

http://www.neodyne.de/bodylove/downloads.html

It is in the MKxDiag software and called MK2backup.

I tried my 4000 with my 030 card and I don't get keyboard lockups... So I do think it is the firmware on the MK2 that is causing faults.

Hmmm.... I read the docs from the archive and I don't see how I restore the firmware back to its original state even when I have a correct image.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

[Doobrey]

 OK, I managed to grab the firmware from my Mk2 040, the docs say it's the same firmware in both 040 and 060, it also has the cybscsi.device v8.6 in it.
 I've got no idea howto flash it back though, couldn't see anything in the Mk2diag docs, is Carlsten still about?

Anyway.. the firmware

[Flashlab]

Thanks!

I don't know how to flash it back either:) but i'll give it a try with different options...

[Flashlab]

Well I couldn't find out how to flash it back, but I formatted my HD and isntalled a basic OS3.1 with v1.3 of the libs and the problem hasn't returned. So I guess it's a library problem and not the firmware. Pfheww !!
