You wrote that firmware? Cool! I've had quite a few of those boxes
go through my hands. I might even have one or two left in storage.
They were always great boxes.
I and many other. I wrote a lot of the original
code, and most of
the routers. But I had a lot smart people
helping. Mostly I added bugs :-)
The upgrade software for the CS was always a little on the complex
side. I would have made it a lot "simpler" if
I had had more time. It was our first "flash based" product and the
requirement was that you could upgrade
remotely, which made things more complex. As I recall the "upgrade
mode" code was almost the full appetalk
stack and router.
