Just in case some more bugs surface...

That should be unlikely... according to MWeston and the Nubs Testing, they are now "Jitter Free".

No jitterbug on the Pandora?

Just curious (and sorry if this has been discussed before): Is the nub firmware user-upgradeable after the nub is installed on the board? Just in case some more bugs surface...

Looks like an atmel mcu, so as long as you have access to the programming pins on the processor, I'd have to say it's upgradable. Hardly user friendly though and I wouldn't want to access the programming pins via the main OS (think viruses destroying your nub firmware).

Therefore user ungradable, probably not. But really, how much is there to test ?



Well, the first version of code delivered wasn't good enough... that's why they need to be patched by poor MWeston.

Yes, always apply Service Pack 1 before shipping. It applies to everything. Even nubs.

You know, Windows NT 4.0 wasn't so bad...

IIRc I couldn't play ANY of my games on it - with the possible exception of MS "Arcade" titles (I don't recall trying them, but I do recall most games were supposedly no-go with NT of around that era).
