In the event that firmware upgrades are necessary, and made available,
follow the procedures outlined below. Users should be aware that turning
off power to the host computer, or the PC card reader during the firmware
upgrades will destroy the PC card reader. Synchrotech cannot accept
responsibility for units destroyed during this process.
If firmware upgrades are made available, the necessary files will be made
available, along with the updated instructions, at
http://www.synchrotech.com/firmware/
1. Open the unit and change the voltage jumper as shown in the following
diagram.
2. Boot the host computer to Windows. Double click on the
pcdtool.exeicon.
3. Select the “open file” icon.
4. Select the “pcd20.rom” file, and double click to open. If the file is read
correctly, you will see the message “PASSED” after “open rom file”
and“read in data”, and “check data (if S-Format and Checksum OK)”.
