A mechanic in the far west needs to have an embedded PC used for tuning BMW engines fixed. They may be able to bring the PC to your location in a central Melbourne area if you can't visit their location. The PC runs a SCO Unix system, has an unknown BIOS password and doesn't boot from a USB stick or a Debian boot CD. It's rumored to require a system date change before the DIS software can be updated, but this seemed impossible for me. Also it's a fairly expensive piece of hardware, so there would be a lot of unhappiness if it was bricked. Here are some details from the client: Group tester one, Siemens touch screen tablet. GT1, Bmw running DIS base program v52. (Dis meaning diagnostic information system) I was wanting to load latest version DIS v57, using images disc supplied. I ran it and machine would not read it, so another person burnt another copy from imaged disc and then machine loaded it, but with error message -250. If upgrade cannot be utilised, then I would be happy to restore it to use v52 as before. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
