Hi Beth, In my experience, when aph releases updates to the BookPort that are not beta releases, if you have the automatically check for updates checked in the options section of the Book Port transfer software, then you will get notified about both firmware and software updates and be able to automatically get both. During the beta testing, however, the software is available automatically but the firmware has to be manually downloaded and the file that you download has to be run with the Book Port plugged in to your computer. The firmware updates are less frequent than the software updates. I hope this helps. Robert Carter At 04:26 PM 8/14/2004, you wrote: >Ok, so stupid question.
