Update...
14.14 FW still will not boot (non-recoverable firmware error) even with S1 in the non-protected position.
My eprom programmer, a BP1148, seems to have no problem converting Intel hex to binary.
I have provided checksums of the images in hopes that you guys can verify their validity using images that you use. This will tell me two things: That my programmer is handling the hex to binary conversion correctly and that the eprom labels are correct. Unlikely that's the problem because these images have been used before.?
The 8 bit checksums of the binary images are as follows
U18 - 2A010C1
U19 - 1F1AD0D
U20 - 2700853
U21 - 1F7BECF
U22 - 206E375
U23 - 1CFD80E
Again, the machine boots with 9.15 FW (passes self test) with the exception of a "cal file checksum error. File reset to default values" message. Any idea what could be causing that? It doesn't seem to matter whether write protect is on or off. Also, the cal EEPROM data has not changed from my initial backup copy. This message disappears when I reinstall the original 6.11 FW.
That's all for now. Thanks for your help.
