EigerCom 56K PCMCIA Modem v.90 Flash Upgrade Program Version 3.0.0
This upgrades the modem to Rockwell firmware release version 2.083.
Warning!!!!
* Use only with EigerCom 56K PCMCIA modems with "P/N 51056" on the back label.
If anything goes wrong (i.e. Power outage, Windows lock up, etc...)
and the flash update process is disrupted, your modem will be rendered
non-functional. Then it needs to be replaced by us. So be sure to:
1. Run the flash.exe from the Hard Drive, not floppy or network.
2. Close out of ALL other programs
3. Attach your AC power adapter
4. Turn off your notebook's power management features
5. Disable your Screen Saver
6. Disconnect from network.
7. DON'T touch the computer while it's flashing!!!
*. This should only take a couple of minutes.
Procedure: Run "v90Wiz.exe" to start upgrading.
Memo: If you are having trouble with backing up the firware and you are using Windows 95 OSR2,
go to Control Panel/Power/PC Cards and disable the feature to "Turn off PC Card Modem
when not in use."
In Win98 where you can't find the above option, do the following.
1. Go to "Start/Run", type in "REGEDIT" then enter.
2. Open up to "Hkey_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\VxD\VCOMM"
3. Double click on "EnablePowerManagement" Key to edit the value.
4. Change the value from 1 to 0. This turns off the power management of the Win98 Com ports.
5. Restart the system and try running the flash program again.
6. Change the value back to 1 if you want the power management re-enabled. Our recommendation
is to leave it off.
Happy surfing! :)
Status of V.90:
You might find that even after flashing the modem to v.90 code you are not connecting
above 33.6K (v.34+). This is because v.90 is still in its early adaptation stage
and there are number of different v.90 firmware codes out there, for US Robotics, Rockwell,
Lucent, Cirrus, PCtel, etc. chipset based modems and server modems. It won't be long
before all the firmwares become more stable and more interconnectable. Until then
we will continue updating flash codes for our modems.
