...of a firmware update appearing v soon (i hope!), could someone put a 'sticky' up for an idiots guide on what software (etc etc) is required to update it via a null modem cable. It seems to me this would be a good idea rather than hundreds of people asking/nagging for info like we've had this week for the manual keys.

Cheers guys, keep up the good work.

9 Pin. You may need a gender convertor though... I did, although i'm not sure if it works (the software didnt detect box).
