#1) Kasandoro, what version of OS do you have currently? if you downloaded the Adaptec offering of 'SnapOS 4.0.860 Upgrade', that patch was expecting you to have an earlier version of 4.x loaded already. In an earlier post, I think I see you reporting the following diagnostics - "Software: 3.4.803". This might be a reason for the 4.0.860 failure.
#2) Actually, I transposed the numbers on the version I'm looking for. The last 'free' 3.x version was "3.4.803" and I'm wondering if anyone has it and can post it to the Snappers FTP site:
ftp://********/ ? I'm late to the HDD upgrade game by a couple of years, but am working on getting my Snap 1000 15GB Quantum replaced by a 80GB drive I just bought. I'm still at ver.3.4.790 and just want to optimize the process.
#3) Not long ago in this thread (April 19 2005), DavesWorld mentioned that Adaptec was allowing a download of the "latest version 4 without the support". Would that download allow an upgrade from ver.3.4.x to ver.4.x? Does anybody still have that download if it allowed 3x to 4x? If it did allow upgrades from 3.x to 4.x that would also be a great posting the the FTP site - as I'm not so sure it is still hanging around Adaptec.
#4) There are posts suggesting to use the FTP site's snap1000.bin file to overlay your HDD using the dd command. The .bin file apparently has version 3.4.805 of the OS. Is this really the most direct way I should go about my HDD & OS upgrade? Kind of like getting both things I want in one procedure. And it is ..805 which is a patch or two above ..803!
- Any thoughts appreciated. Thank you.
