If you can send us the URL's for the firmware updates I can give you some
details on how it goes with mine. I haven't tried to flash them yet but if

P.S. Send me any details of the prob you are having off list and that way I
can compare notes. I have two cards at my disposal and can try flashing them
later this evening/tomorrow.
