RE: Re: Update for Scanner

I was afraid of that but it's ok. The scanner has been working with no
issues the past few days. Don't think I need a new one right now since I get
everything I am wanting to hear on this one. Thanks for the info guys.
Grabbed some software from the files area and am looking forward to hooking
the scanner up to the pc when I get the cable. I have Windows 7 and the
software seems to work ok. Know of any issues I should be aware of?

You are correct. You cannot change the firmware on this model. It's WAY too
old for that! 73 Mike
