What is going on? The firmware that was just posted the other day is gone and now there is an updater program that requires a PC, internet access and the Novel connected to your PC by USB cable. I guess I will give it a whirl and see what happens?

UPDATE: The updater program did not work. I get a system error when it tries to detect new firmware available and the program is shut down. I tried it in compatibility mode as Win XP SP 2. I am running Windows 7. If anyone gets it to work let me know. I will download from the mirror someone set up. I downloaded it at work but forgot to copy it to my usb key. See photo below of error. What was wrong with just letting us download the firmware. They don't need some fancy PC connected program that doesn't work.
I wonder why I kept getting a system error when it tried to check my SKU for an update. What OS are you running the updater in? I was able to figure out the download link for the latest firmware so I was able to grab it anyway. It is still up there, just no download link for it.[quote name='derelicte;20965]no big deal guys. the downloader worked for me. it downloaded the update image to the internal sd card' date=' which I promptly saved off to my pc. :Dit is updating now...[/QUOTE']
[quote name='Bunbury;21123]...'ve got a 32 on order form a winning bid on ebay. I won it for 20+ bucks so most likely it is only 512mb (LOL) but we'll see if it's a counterfeit or if I actually caught a firggin break... ehem' date=' when it comes.My money is on counterfeit. [/QUOTE'] I've carefully checked out the ones on eBay right now that are going cheap. People either say they are counterfeit and if you format them they are only 4gb sdhc (they use sdhc so they can fake 32gb) or they are genuine but slower than Class 2. I think some are indeed counterfeit and the others are rejects that didn't meet class 2 specs. I hope you get the latter, instead of the former, as even if a slow card it would still be usable.
