Have now tried Nero5 and Gear to write the upgrade CD but don`t seem to work(tried every way possible - even hanging upside down from the ceiling!!!). Can anyone that has managed to upgrade send me an ISO of the disk???

Thanks in advance

Finally sussed it - it seems like the DVD upgrade will not work if written by nero or electroson gear, but works with CDRWin!
Ignore the notes thought - Write as a mode1 CD and not an XA format.

The upgrade (V191) seems to have fixed quite a few problems - the only remaining problems I have noticed are the following:

1) When reading certain MP3 tracks, it does not display the MP3 Tag
2) Some MP3 files are distorted (Right hand channel only)
3) The new feature of skipping through MP3`s sometimes gets upset and results in a sort of audio looping until play is pressed

One major bugfix is that I have had no lock-ups or freezes 1 sec into tracks though. All in all this is an excellent product although it still needs some work - it is a sign of the times these days with the advent of flash memory, most manufacturers seem to think it is a license to offload products that have not been tested and debugged on unfortunate suppliers like SCAN.
I sympathise with the position that SCAN is in and I am glad that they have provided support in the way of updates - who knows maybe all issues will be ironed out before christmas.

My e-mail has been down since Sunday am and is still down so I can`t send anything out. If you still have not got the update then post again and I will try again later tonight.

I`m also meant to be getting the firmware upgrade - has Nelly sent it, cos I`ve never had it.

This really is not the way to do business.
