OEM Downloader - Author Unknown - Oct 26 8:16:00 2001

I have been trying to convince Netmedia (and the rest of the group)
that we needed an "OEM downloader" for at least a year, so I was
filled with joy when I heard that it was finally comming. I have been
manufacturing a commercial product based on the BX01 for about 2
years now and since some of my customers are half a world away,
software updates have been a nightmare. Imagine my disappointment
when I found that the downloader was for the BX24 only.

Please, Netmedia, don't leave all of the BX01 users out in the cold
on this one.

This is only temporary. For BX-01 downloading we use a 3rd party DLL for the
parallel port driver, which makes installation a bit more complicated,
especially for NT. We thought it was better to release at least a BX-24 beta
downloader now, in order to get feedback, rather than wait for the device
driver to get nailed down.

Thanks for the reply Frank. At least I know there is hope for a BX01
version of the downloader :)
