Just wondering what is a null modem cable, I bought a serial extension cable {belkin} from the local Staples store, can this be used for the firmware upgrade, psypro1 I hope you got your 990 working, I first bought a usb cable but saw the trouble you and others have had and am going to go the serial cable route.

DON'T use a null modem cable. It is an old configuration that will not work. If you use a serial cable, make certain it is a "straight through" cable.

Gonk, my firmware version is 3.10.3. Do you have 3.10.4?

you can download the new version 3.10.4 right from here on the forums.

There are several people reporting that they're getting 3.10 03 reported rather than 3.10 04. We're not sure yet why, but if you've got 3.10 then your update worked.

Might be the most "senior" outlaws got a better version.....as you are! Hee Heeeeeeeeeee, something unfair and need to be picked.

This was from CI in another thread.

ADDENDUM: Just spoke with Steve at tech, and he was able (as usual!) to clarify the issue. The last two digits have nothing to do with the firmware, but rather, reflect the build date of the particular 990 being updated.

Well, it makes sense if my 990 is older than Gonk's on......i.e. 3.10.4 vis 3.10.4

As long as the upgrade works, why care much. Well said man.

Sorry, wrong typo. I said 3.10.3 vs 3.10.4 in above message.

yes, I am assuming it is a straight thru cable , it says on the package serial extension cable, seems to be for extending a mouse or other devices with a DB9 connection, so will this work for the upgrade?
