Any differences in firmware/hardware revisions between the modems that don't and the one that does work?

Other than that, I cannot really think of any reason, may seem silly, but have you got everything connected correctly?

Other than blackcat not seeing the other two modems, do they suffer any other symptoms or differ in any other way to the one that does work for you?

no m8 the modems both got the moto firmware on them

Its been suggested elsewhere that you could try toms jtag instead of blackcat, as for how to use it, I've never tried, so won't be much help there I'm afraid.

And this is a long-shot, but from another forum I found this:

Quote:

Just wanted to say that i got it to work (incuding the Flash IC detection). So, i wanted to say that i had to change the BIOS settings for the parallel port to SPP <_< Kinda strange, huh... In all the forums that i have read everyone recommends ECP or EPP, but i didn't work for me though. So, just wanted to share it, maybe it will help to someone not to waste so many hours on that

and post #7 here might be of help if you want to try a different blackcat cable: SB5101E Lights Out !

Or post #8 on the same thread might be worth a read.

Hope they are of use, let me know how you get on buddeh
