PS.
Let me try and clear this up a little better.
At the bottom of the Gemini Mount web page (mountpar.cgi) is a
selection called? "Default Startup Mode"
It has 4 selections:? Cold Start, Warm Start, Warm Restart, and Ask
if possible.
The Hand controller bug is that if "Ask if Possible" is the
selection, the hand controller will display the boot mode selections
Quick Start, Cold Start, Warm Start, and Warm Restart.? This menu
interferes with the File upload of new firmware to the
Hand controller.?? If you select Cold Start, Warm Start,or Warm
Restart in the Web Mount page, then this menu on
the Hand controller will not be shown, and therefore not interfere
with the file upload process.
So if you have the Web Mount page Startup selection as "Ask if
Possible" please change it to one
of the other 3 selections before trying to update the Hand
controller using the web interface.
I hope I did not make that too confusing.

Hi all
There is a small bug in the hand controller firmware,
where updating the firmware and boot mode interferes with
each other. The tempeary
fix is to set the boot mode to select everything but "Ask,
if possible" for the boot mode, in the web interface,
before uploading the
NewHC.bin file. Ren¨¦ is working on this, and I will let
you know when this is no longer necessary.
Thanks
