    RSP-1068 Eprom update error

    I'm wondering if anyone can help me figure this out.

    I'm updating WKHanna's "new" Rotel RSP-1068 with the new firmware and DSP Eprom update.

    The DSP Eprom update keeps failing on me, I have the unit powered on in the back and powered on full in the front (per instructions), the update DIP switches are set to off). I'm not sure if it's the computer I'm running it on (sort of what I'm thinking though)... but when I run the program, I select the R98_V3D4.bin file and set the start address (28000), end address (2ffff), device id (a1), and com port (1)... it sees the port okay and wants to write, but when it does it instantly prompts up with

    Run-time error '8020':
    Error reading comm device.

    Now this is a USB to serial as I have no serial ports in the house at all. I'm also running this on an Win7 x64.... and I have tried compatibility mode WinXP-32bit and still get the same issue.

    I tried for about an hour to figure it out (well first I had an issue with the com port until I put it on com1, then it got this far.

    So in the mean time I tried the firmware update and it went through flawlessly and updated perfectly fine...which is the main thing Bill was wanting done to the unit....

    Any ideas from the wealth of knowledge here?!?

      Been a while since I did an eeprom update. I know that program is probably more susceptible to USB-serial problems. What firmware was is on? Might not need the eeprom update.

          I did the newest one on the bwgroup site, I think that's 1.3.7 or something like that if I remember correctly. I'll have to check it tomorrow.

                  1.2.4 I think, does that sound right?? I think I have it written down, I had it save in a word doc that I think I deleted already.

                      Anything after 1.1.7 came with the eeprom update, so you should be good.

                          Cool, I sort of wondered about that after you suggested it... so I think he's good.

                          Thanks again Kevin!!!

                              Geez!
                              All that trouble you went thru to try & load updated firmware & what was on the unit if the first place was fine!
                              I feel so bad for wasting all your time!

                                  I didn't waste my time, I updated your firmware from 1.2.4 to 1.3.7 I believe it was...

                                  It was the eprom that was already put to par after the version Kevin said. I just didn't need to do that. I only "wasted" about 15 minutes with it as I realized there was something up with it... especially when the firmware went on without a glitch.

                                          I was not able to use the EPROM update program despite my com ports working fine due to a conflict with Microsoft Activesync software used for Pocket PC's. The EPROM program gives the error message "failure to initialize com port".
