New Firmware for Playback Designs MPS-5

I posted about this a while back in another Playback thread. I also posted what JTinn wrote.

I have just seen the posting. I am glad that you feel that it is an improvement. The detail and the 3 dimensionality has really impressed me the most.

Thanks

I own MPS-5 and never did any update though I have all files downloaded and stored in my PC . Hearing yours comments , it urges me to do my first upgrade , just wish to know , is it OK to jump to the latest update file and is updating real easy as ABC , any points needed to attend to ?

Thanks !

I believe it over-writes the entire firmware so it's not cumulative.

ps there's a new one again (bugfix for the old one)

Doggiehowser:

I'm confused by your statement that "it" (presumably the latest update) over-writes the entire firmware and is therefore not cumulative. To me, "over-write" means the new firmware replaces the firmware or data previously located in a given space on the drive. "Cumulative" means that the latest update includes all prior firmware as well as the most recent changes. If the latest update is not cumulative, then it has only the latest changes and, if it over-writes all existing firmware, then only the latest changes will remain. I think that either (a) you meant to say that the latest update is not "additive" or (b) your meaning of "over-write" is that the newly installed firmware merely adds to firmware that is already present. Is that correct?
