Bruce Whittaker. *****************************************************************************8 Normally a f/w upgrade is not needed, sometimes it corrects a few bugs or adds some more functionality. Some new version of DU may need the f/w upgrade, the only way to tell is to read the documentation of the firmware CD and the firmware required section of the new operation system disk. __________________________________________________________________________ Paul Ottaway (Siemens Plessey Systems, Eurocontrol Maastricht UAC, NL 6191,RX Beek, NL) 100737,2577_at_compuserve.com(Private) paul.ottaway_at_mas.eurocontrol.be (work) ott_at_mas.eurocontrol.be(work) __________________________________________________________________________ *****************************************************************************8 > How to determine if a firmware upgrade is required?
