Fortunately someone (Mikro?) hacked in support but finding a CT60e version of the flash tool isn't straight forward. Just bare that in mind before re-using "any" old flash parts.

It wasn't me and the problem was with Centuriontech's CT63s. I've been wanting to recompile / adjust the flash application (and actually the TOS image itself) for a long time but ... still pending. The problem was with something related to top / bottom placement of some flash chip component, lazy to look it up now.

(3) The CT60e TOS is not named the same as CT60/CT63 TOS and the revision number goes backwards. The timeline for CT6x TOS was something like 1.03c -> 1.04a -> 2.00/1.00 -> 2.01/2.01 -> 1.05 -> 1.03d -> updated 1.05. (And then you've got CTPCI TOS!) It would be good if all this was definitively cleared up.

I don't think this is something that Chris can influence. ;-) It's not such a mess, actually, it makes sense from normal versioning POV.

Didier released 1.03c -> 1.04a (first CTPCI build) -> 2.00 -> 2.01 -> 2.02 beta10 (and some other, not important, betas as the last CTPCI build).

Then insane/tscc branched off 1.04a, added a ton of things and named it 1.05 (and kept this version even when adding new things to it)

Then Willy branched off 1.03c and created the slightly patched for CT60e (yet not renamed) to 1.03d.

So you see, it actually makes sense, it just doesn't make sense to put it on one timeline.

I would also be interested in this card, but unfortunately shipping to Germany is only limited to this year. :cry:

Shipping the odd package should be fine. So I wouldn't worry to much.

I'm confused already :lol:

But indeed I don't know anything about the firmware and the community would have to sort that out. I can possibly deal with the hardware side of things yes but beyond that I have no idea. All I know is the original CT60 firmware, was it 103C ? I updated it to 2.00 or whatever it was, stuff didn't work right anymore, so I put back the 103c. I have no idea whats in my CT60e or what the differences / fixes are supposed to be.

Are the PCB files available for the CTPCI anyway ? That could just be extended like 1cm to avoid that problem.

Supervidel, no idea, its not made anymore is it ? Was those files public in the end ? Maybe that could be tweaked to fit the CT60e better :shrug:
