serial cable for firmware upgrade - 07/03/07 12:25 AM
The link to compusa on the upgrade page is not working. Anyone have a link to a proper serial cable I would need to update the firmware on my 1070?
thanks!

Thanks for the link Palmer...sorry I'm not too computer savvy. From the quick look behind my computer I take it I'll need a M/F cable.

Just borrowed a cable from our IT department at work...

No need to apologize. Borrowing from IT is always a good bet (especially with a cable you'll probably use only once or twice.)
Let us know how you do...

Loaded the new firmware tonight. Took about 5 minutes from start to finish. The only bad part - I don't have a laptop so I had to disconnect everything and carry the 1070 upstairs to my computer and then reinstall when done.
Other than that it went smooth as silk.
