bios upgrade - flashing possible?

Postby arjepsen » Mon Nov 17, 2014 7:05 pm

Hey.
I recently bought a HDR that has the old bios in it.
I read that Mackie offered an upgrade chip, to enable larger disks.
Here is where I start wondering if it really is necessary to get a new chip, or if it is mainly a matter of the "firmware" in the chip - meaning:
Would it be possible to flash the bios, thus upgrading, instead of having to buy another chip??

Hi Anders;

Sorry for not noticing this question and getting back to you.

It is not possible to Flash the Bios. It is physically a different Chip.

They can be purchased from ebay.

Again sorry for not repsonding earlier.
