Editing the flashing program of a tape drive.
Posted: Wed Mar 27, 2002 10:56 am
ok this is the 2nd time ive posted this but it was wiped with the new forums.
i need someone in the know to edit a flashing program to stop it from checking the checksum of the drive or bios file before it proceeds.
my problem is ive flashed the wrong bios to my tape drive.. i can detect andsee the drive fine but whats acctually happened is i have flashed a slightly different drives bios to my drive and now i can flash the correct one because its detecting that the checksum is different (why it didnt do this in the first place i have no idea). the program has no switches to force the flash either thats why i was hoping someone can edit the program for me.
the link to the url to download the flahsing too and bios is:
http://www.tecmar.com/download/firmware/267FLASH.EXE
(its a self extracting zip file)
please if anyone can do this for me (rainbow ?), im desprit.
thanks
