I have a 486 NMC that I tried to upgrade to the Hiper code (which requires the upgraded ram and flash). I failed to notice the larger flash requirements before attempting the update and needless to say the card won't boot now. The rn/fl light flashes green. I know that means it needs a download but I've tried several times to download with the pcsdl utility but I've never been able to establish communication. The NMC in question was v.90 enabled, but given my luck the unlock code is now fried (the entire chassis was bought used so I'm probably out of luck for 3com to move the unlock code). Any suggestions? I found a deal on an NMC with the Hiper code and upgraded ram and the 10/100 nic so I was just planning on buying a new one (which is kind of dumb but I'd really like to get this box in service). -----Original Message----- From: owner-usr-tc@lists.xmission.com [mailto:owner-usr-tc@lists.xmission.com]On Behalf Of Greg Coffey Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2001 4:45 PM To: usr-tc@lists.xmission.com Subject: Re: (usr-tc) 486 Hiper NMC question As far as I know, the x2 key is what you pay for. Have to have that to enable v90 though. It is an option for all NMC's, I believe. You can move the key (or 3Com can) from one NMC to another. At 04:21 PM 9/25/2001 -0600, you wrote:

Does anyone know if the 486 Hiper NMC's came with v.90 enabled or was that an optional feature?

I believe that the x2/V.90 key is only necessary for Quad cards. A 486 NMC with HiperDSPs doesn't need a key to support V.90.
