After hearing 3Com swoon about the renamed "Total Control 1000" platform
with it's DSPs and Quads and how everything is going to be nice, I just
noticed in the compatibilty notes for TCS 4.0 (the only part I have access
to) that this is to be the last tested compatibility software version for
the Quads. Does this mean all Quad fixes are now finished? IMHO, I'm not
ready to trash my Quads in favor of DSPs that drop more and connect at
lower speeds. Any thoughts?

Hey, guys.
The day before leaving for ISPCON, I noticed the NMC we where using with
some Quads wasn't X2 enabled... so in a panic, I was able (with someone's
help here) to erase the password on another NMC with an X2 key, and get
the system fixed up, before leaving... From Florida, I noted the NMC
card was only 4.3.4 and wasn't recognizing the HiperDSP or
HiperARC... which made for some interesting TCView and MRTG charts... but
at least it was running.
Yesterday, I finally got around to putting it on my to-do list. I would
flash it to 6.1.17 and thats' it... but instead the goddamn NMC card
keep timing out, and the flash failed. I then noted it only had 4 Megs
DRAM, 2 Megs Flash... *grumble* I switch the flash with an 8 Meg, and put
a 16 in DRAM slot 2, but the system ignores the 16 Megger... after
fighting with different combos of cards, memory, flash and that infernal
PCSDL program for hours, I am able to successfully get the card up on
6.0.9 without upsetting the dialled in customers. Whew...
However, suddenly, all the customers get dropped off the DSP... and it's
not picking up anymore... so I swap about some PRIs. The box looks normal
from the front, but TCView only sees the DSP as a yellow card... the TCM
doesn't acknowledge the DSP either, but I can click on the empty slot and
bring up programmed settings.
What should I try now? I'd like to update the system to 6.1.17, but does
that require 8 Meg or Flash or DRAM... I have 8 Flash, but 4 DRAM right
now... IIRC, 6.0.9 should like the HiperDSP's fine... right?
This is probably a stupid question, but is there anyway to transfer an X2
key?
