    FWselect

    Hate to ask something of you guys again, but it's bugging the hell out of me.

    I remember hearing/seeing something about FWselect (before the 4 series machines came out)

    I thought I had something on my laptop about it, but alas, I do not. I tried searching the google for it (and got a 500 error on the only result I found that would give me the info), as well as CSES, which only gave me actual firmware.

    I have a couple of questions;

    1. Is it as simple as adding a folder to my USB Root named "FWselect" and then placing the firmware files in that (without folders). I get the feeling it is.
    2. Does this work with the new 4 and e series machines as well?

    Once again, I hate to be a pain, but even a link to some resources that you found helpful would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers.

    Re: FWselect

    Everybody stop looking! I found it.

    "The procedure to store FW into USB memory
    (1) Place a set of FW for a model on the root directory of a USB memory
    (2) Make a folder named “FWSelect” on the root directory.
    (3) Place folder(s) for other FW(s).
    Note: The name of folder must be within 40 alpha-numeric charactors"

    If this is correct, can anyone confirm whether this still works with the 4/e series machines?

    Digging up an old post here, but does anyone know if it is possible to add firmware for different models onto one USB stick. Would be great to give an engineer a stick with all the range on it.

    Re: FWselect

    Great, how would I put C284 and C284e on the same stick then, as an example?

    yes i think this is possible, because the file names should be different.

    so the machine will find the right one by it self.

    Well to save everyone else wasting their time.. No, it's not possible. It asks you if you want to overwrite a bunch of files when you try and put C224 firmware on a C224e USB.

    It most certainly IS possible, we do this all the time to keep from having to keep track of multiple USB drives, I have one that holds 5 different firmware files, and 1 that holds 8 or 9 movie files. You must add the folder structure exactly as posted above. Emujo
