actually i came from this site to the mailing list cause i was unsure about the info they gave there ;-)

nice to hear that there's even newer firmware! unfortunately i get incompatibility-messages with this file as well :-(
unfortunately the only machine running windows has a nforce2-motherboard, which doesn't work with wl200(as stated by compaq, didn't try yet) - guess i'll have to temporary install windows on some spare space on a some other machine - but maybe some else proofs that the '-i'-flag doesn't cause any harm with prism2_srec?
could you add a comment on why/how the 1.5.6 works better than 1.7.0 for you?

many thanks
