It seems that Florian has 'inside' information and suggests that this doesn't matter so I'd not worry about it to much. If you still want to check it I *think* you run one of RME's firmware updates and it tells you what is installed before it does the update. I just tried the version that's on their website and it tells me I'm hardware revision 104 and programming status is 'not updated'. Watch out though as the web site has firmware released a few days ago on the 19th and I'm talking about firmware that came with my card years ago. RME used to give you access to this really old stuff but I'm not finding the link they used to have to the older firmware so we all might be out of luck if they won't supply it. You don't want to run this app unless you have a copy of the one that takes you back. The banner for this new version gives a very cryptic message: HDSP Fut. Rev. 17/55/108/154/207/234 I suspect that those are different firmware revisions for different products but I really don't know. AGAIN, BE VERY CAREFUL. (Or ask Florian to drop by...) ;-) Good luck, Mark On Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 11:50 AM, Alex Norman <alex@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > So, he isn't 100% sure how to check the firmware version.
