failed to upgrade to 1.5.6 or 1.7.4 for 8008 chip

[Dustin Marquess]

Jun,

You beat me to this.  I have 3 DWL-650s.  2 of them are 800c's, 1 is a
8008.  I can download RAM images to it, but I can't flash it with
anything recent.

If somebody knows where to find some recent firmware for the 8008's I'd
be very grateful :)
