Craig, this problem is well-known on the Replay forum at
avsforum.com.  I think the usual way to fix it is to download the
3.0 image (there should be a link at the forum, if not ask and
they will provide it), and copy it to the drive (I don't know if
you can do this through the serial port, you might have to pull
the drive).  I have an old one lying around that I haven't got
around to selling yet, they go for $150-200 on ebay (without
added drive space).

So now I need some expert help.

I strongly suspect that the software update can be downloaded via the
serial port used to connect to some DBS boxes, but I have no idea
where to get the download file or what it takes to communicate with
this beast. The unit claims 30 hour recording capacity - the unit
configuration seems to indicate that they may be space to add up to
three more drives to the unit.

Can anybody help?

Does anyone know what this thing is worth (or is it worthless)?

Does anyone want to buy it?
