Hi everyone i cant wait to get my new tm 500 it should be here in a few days and cant wait to start playing with it. What im wondering is how you connect it to your pc do you just youse flash fxp like a dbox and can you change the image on the box. Ive looked for a user manual on the technomate web site but cant find one.

Thanx

Andy

If you haven't found it already this may help How to flash a TM500/600 Image

You can use DCC to edit your bouquets. Or there are some available for download via the blue button on some images.

Yes you can, some of the programs you might use will need to be told they are using a crosover cable rather than a router.
