To all owners of 5600 trying to flash their ROM
« on: March 19, 2004, 06:46:20 pm »
Please beware when downloading a new ROM from myzaurus.com as one link under Downloads]5600 is incorrect.  If you click on the arrow icon it will bring you to a page related to flashing ROM on 5500.  You have to click on the \'Read Instructions and Download\' link to go to the correct page.

I got messed up because of it too.  My lights were flashing for half an hour until I decided that something was not right.  Very Bad Thing™.

I have sent a note to the webmaster about this too.

No it still doesn\'t karmmisht.  The red icon with arrow to the left of \"SL-5600 OS and Synchronization...\" points to ROMupdate3.asp which is \"SL-5500 System ROM and Synchronization Software Update\".  The text link correctly points to ROMupdate6.asp which is \"SL-5600 OS and Synchronization Software Update\"

OK Sorry - didn\'t read your post carefully.  When I navigated there, I didn\'t click on the link path as you indicated.  Seems they should know better to take care in setting up accurate links considering the potential consequences of flashing a Z with the wrong ROM.

I hope you get a meaningful response from them.  I\'ve sent them a few emails asking about the disappearance of the development site and got non-responsive replies.
