A long time ago, I had a couple of GatorBoxes, and I

could run the code memory test to wipe all the settings -- and hence

What I can't remember is the procedure to then re-install the Gatorshare
software. I seem to recall it needs a Mac. Can anyone remind me?
Someone I know has ended up with this problem.
mmm. many moons have passed since I wrote *that* software :-)
As I recall (dimly) you need to run GatorKeeper on a mac. If this is a
CS (which I assume it is - the plastic tower), it should have a boot
rom which will come up even if no code is in flash and register itself
(via NBP) on the localtalk network.
GatorKeeper will "find" it and then you should be able to download the
software and setup a new config. The software is on the web somewhere.
I don't think you can do it via tftp, however. You could on later
products, but not on the CS.
(I remember doing the prom for the "big orange box" and it would load
code via bootp/tftp or via ethertalk phase 1 but I never got to revise
the CS prom)
