You can forcefully update the Book Port with the beta firmware by taking =
the following steps:
1. Get WinZip. Try www.winzip.com if you don't have it.
2. Run WinZip and open bpfw_beta.exe
3. Extract the file bpfw._BB to a place where you can find it.
4. Connect the Book Port.
5. Find bpfw._BB in Windows Explorer, right-click it, and select Send To =
Book Port.
