hello folks , got a few problems here. had zoomfloopy running with cbmxfer a couple of days ago now the whole thing went kaput. tried to reinstall open cbm several times and several different version from both spiro and other places but to no avail, every time I think I have it right I get a 99 drive error with my 2 1571's (both of which are verified working properly) and when i try to update the firmware of the zoom floppy I get this: finding and preparing device for update...
note: device has version 8 but firmware is not newer (version 7)

add the -f flag if you really have the right firmware.

Everytime I try to add the flag to update the batch file says i'm doing it wrong.

getting frustrated and not sure what to do. running win 10 64 bit. help please.

Hello,

That's exactly the problem if you wildly install different versions. You
make the symptoms more bad.

The output you get when you try to install the firmware tells us that
your ZF has a firmware v8, but you want to update it with a firmware v7.

As your ZF has a firmware v8, you need an OpenCBM version of at
least 0.4.99.100. An older one (especially the 0.4.99.99 that you find
often on the net) will not work with your firmware!

However, as the firmware that your installation wants to install is a
v7, you obviously have a version <= 0.4.99.99.


I would highly suggest that you uninstall every older version (be
careful, especially if you followed some instructions from random guys
on the web - you might have a very bad setup at the moment). This can be
a very hard task!


Afterwards, reboot (!) and try to install OpenCBM 0.4.99.104 by calling
the install.cmd file from within the archive. When it asks you to
install the drivers, say "yes".

Please report any problems (with screenshots would be best!), so we can
try to follow what is going on on your side.

Regards,
Spiro
