Major problems with UP2000 - need help in Firmware

[Michael Christy]

It sounds like SRM is in console mode.  Connect to it via the RS232 port
and you should be able to access the SRM prompt.  I believe the command to
change it back to graphics mode is 'set console graphics'.  Good Luck.

P.S. I also have a UP2000 with a dead cpu.  Do you know where I can get
a 667MHz cpu cartridge for a reasonable price?

Using the new CPUs (also 667MHz 4MB) it appears the 1st motherboard I have has developed a fault on the secondary CPU slot and it also appears one of the original CPUs is now dead too.

When in this Recovery mode I have a bunch of options, but most SRM commands do not work. I have tried the firmware update (fwupdate) from within the Recovery Bios, I got it to flash the UP2000 SRM bios by renaming the UP20SRM.rom FW file to "pc264srm.rom". This flashed, but doesnt seem to have done anything.
