Please log in for more thread options Hi,
what you could do is "find" a 4.1 EFIGS ROM file plus ROM Crafter software
and flash the ROM file into your m500. ROM Crafter is PC-based with
back-up and restore functions and supports
both USB and RS232 under Windows XP. This info stems from a buddy who is
keepin' a long-eared critter for a pet.
Take care
