OK; First I'm kinda back where I started with the October snapshot.

I did manage to get back to the latest Astak firmware load after several tries. When I tried again to flash the October snapshot, the update said it was the Astak firmeware load. Thinking I had perhaps made a mistake I unzipped the October OI again - same thing. I went ahead anyway and the OI logo came up with the bar progressing as it usually does.

Now it (the reader) is flashing the page at about a 3 second interval.

Suggestions/comments??


BTW I was unable to connect via WinSCP during this time. I didn't try while the Astak firmware was loaded. I had previously connected via WinSCP successfully. I leave it flashing for a while to see if anything happens & then go back to the Astak and see if I can get it to the 9-18 snapshot (which I had been using because nothing later seemed to work).


Edit: So far I can go back to the Astak firmware but none of the OI snapshots I've tried seem to work (May & Oct & 9-18). They sometimes go through the beginning with the OI logo then seem to hang (except the Oct goes into the page flashing at 3 second intervals). I have reformated the internal to FAT while I had it operating with the Astak. firmware.
