[argyllcms] Re: Anybody successfully using a DTP51 with Mac OS X?

I was finally able to update the firmware. I went from 3607 to 6520. I
don't know what exactly did it, but I played around with the serial
configuration on the device. Even though I turned off flow control a
few days ago, somehow it was enabled again. After I turned it off, the
update worked.

I have not had a chance yet to actually use the device with the new
firmware. This has to wait until tonight.

Thanks for trying this. This at least shows that it's not a problem
with just my device. Maybe I should just start saving money for a i1
:)
