I cannot assure it, but like the characteristics of your cards differs is 
probably that the upgrade don't work. Really i don't know.

But... i didn't fix the firmware, simply i send it badly the first time. I 
ask Zoom for the firmware and they give me it.
The same form, you can ask Compaq to support an upgrade firmware.

This utility must tell you if the firmware image is a valid image before 
start to flash.. (i think)

(sorry if i respond too late)
