Actually, that's good direction. Thanks. I took them to a test bed with = just a CP10. I built an ECB to light up the FBMs. As soon as I plugged = the FBMs into the system, it started EPROM updates. I took them to the = system and they work fine with the CP30. I don't understand why the CP30 = didn't hit them, but the CP10 did. CP10 and CP30 both V6.5.3 software, = same IOM. Who can figure? As long as it works.
