Snap OS Thoughts

jmassengill · 05-16-2008, 11:46 AM

Hello all,
This is my first post here after reading your forum for about 4 days. Ok, here it goes.
I was looking at the SUP files for 3.4.805 and 4.0.860 upgrade and found that both the files were the same size (30,093KB) and I wondered if it would make sense that maybe the upgrade / full os problem could be as simple as the name of the file??? (Let me remind you, this is just a guess on my part and I could be full of crap!) I just think it is funny that Adaptec would spend money on two different files that do the same thing. Which leads to two questions:
1. Does anyone have the name of the full OS file for 4.0.860 (read that again, I just want to know the NAME of that file. I DON'T want the whole fileand I'm not asking for the file!)
2. Does anyone have the file size of the above file.

Thanks for helping feed my troubled mind!

BTW, great forum you all have here. Keep up the good work.

Welcom to the forum.

Your for getting 1 thing. The OS is written into flashram (fixed). So it has limited space, and the code is Intel code. With intel code it is written to specific memory address.

All of the sup files are the same size 30,815,135 bytes. The v4.0.860 full is "snap_sys.sup".

Your right, I did let that fact slip my mind. (remember, I did say that I could be full of crap!)

Thanks for the information.

As I said before, Wonderful site you have here. The information has been very helpful!
