I think mine is a Gratten, and the triggering is fine once you hit the magic twanger, but the firmware that controls it is buggier than a 10 day old road kill in August. I have a firmware update file kit for it, but it requires a dos box with a usb port. When was the last time you saw one of them? Short answer is never. dfu on linux won't talk to it. And I've never seen a dos with usb drivers, not even the last drdos. If anyone knows how to get past that, I'd be a happy camper indeed. Or maybe they charge for the access key, I see the unpacked firmware dir has an empty "key" directory. If anyone knows how to get past that... The manual, ADS1000*****************.pdf does very carefully NOT mention it. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
