Re: (ASCEND) P75 upgrades
I've done the fsave immediately after the tload and the P75 *still* don't
come back up without prodding via serial cable. Need to work with a client
to fix one this evening in fact (5.1A -> 5.1Ap9)
I do think the instructions have been amended as such, but it doesn't do
any good.
It seems (I think I read this here a couple month or so back) that if the
Pipeline hasn't been upgraded via tload before, it will not come back up.
Once it has, it will work as expected.
