I think that is very nice but have no qualms about how long it has taken. Too many times companies are pressured to issues upgrades and do so without thourough testing resulting in more bugs than when a person started. I have had that experience with one company in particular. Even though I have alot of faith in Outlaw I will not be one of the first to upgrade my 990. I'll let a few of you guys test it out first.

mzpro5: I'm sure or should I say they hopefully will supply the original firmware on the site for those who upgrade and experience problems and want to revert back to the old code.

Okay, anybody care to share a bit about what's going to be in the update? Perhaps a beta tester might divulge a bit? Maybe just a hint please?

It's more of a hurry up and wait thing. I really can't imagine why it is taking so long unless there is some hardware-related show stopper. In spite of what's been posted here, I can't imagine the firmware being terribly complex for a simple text based menuing system to talk to the various support chips. I suspect there just isn't a dedicated person working on this. I doubt that badgering them about it is going to make any difference since that approach has been tried (grin) to no effect. 8-)
Cheers,

I can understand the reasoning for beta testers not wanting to post and Outlaw not wanting to ID them. As I understand the 950 beta testers took a real beating. However if real beta testing was performed, all of the conditions(flaws) that have been ID'd by purchasers of 990 were known prior to the first unit shippment. If they were not found on the orignal beta test, I hope new testers were used this go-around.

When I connected my wife's laptop to the 990 for trying out the audio connection, I used a standard A/B USB cable similar to this one . It worked for the audio connection, and I plan to use it for the data connection as well.
