Hi,
As mentioned in a previous post, I recently repaired an SDS6 and (two) SDS7 units, main problem was battery leakage.
While I had the units apart, I took the opportunity to read the OS roms and I have made backup bin files. I compared the two SDS7 rom images and they were identical, so I'm assuming all the images are good.
I'm not sure if this has ever been discussed before, but I think it would be a good idea to upload them here as a general resource, perhaps we could build up a library of all OS files (and versions?) for all Simmons gear that uses them. Eproms can become corrupted and without a backup of the OS you are stuffed, and as the average age of this gear gets older, the likelihood of failure increases. Any thoughts?
Cheers, vout
