just saw this posted over at the yahoo repeater group and thought i would share it here.... posted by Peter Toms... New OS installed and working hello Repeaties Well. Here's a watershed moment in the history of the Repeater. I've just loaded the OS 2 successfully, and preliminary testing of about 2/3 of the upgrades shows positive results for each and every one. The documentation coming along with the upgrade is spot on, listing each upgrade, the effects of each, and the default status. I'm extremely impressed with this OS upgrade. Electrix sent me a 32MB Sandisk CF card with the software and firmware upgrades loaded. The firmware upgrade is loaded first, followed by the new OS. The entire operation takes less than 90 seconds. Note - it's not automated, you have to accept and then verify the acceptance with a button push for each. The only glitch I've encountered is that the Repeater immediately self-reboots with the new OS, and it then interprets the OS-carrying CF card as having a bad format. Then it asks if you'd like to re- format. A small glitch, but a source of potential loss - you could choose to erase the OS on the CF card if you wished. After all this time, it's a real pleasure to have the fabled OS 2 actually operating on my machine. Three Cheers for Adam Scolaro and the new Electrix! and three more for Don Goodeve, the software engineer responsible for this fine development work. I'm impressed as hell. Well. and I'm going to be busy for quite awhile re-programming my rack... there's a ton of goodies in here... i'm canceling my vacation... _________________________________________________________________ Play your part in making history - Email Britain! http://www.emailbritain.co.uk/
