The latest .bin file shows:
***
Release Notes for 4.27 (0427) library firmware:
These improvements are incremental to the last firmware release (4.23) and will further increase the overall reliability of your library.
Changes:
Fixed problem where the library becomes unresponsive when connected via Web Remote Interface (RMI).

While this is a nice fix, I was expecting to see an update to the default ftp address in the RMI for the next bios updates... It still points to ftp.compaq.com instead of at HP?

I do not want to have to update over 400 of these manually.

Any news on when this will get changed?

... paging Dave Ruska ... paging Super Dave?

This should have been addressed in the 4.27 release. Can you verify this? If it is not changed we will investigate what happened.

[JohnWRuffo]

Yes, the library still points to the Compaq ftp:

Current remote directory is /pub/products/msl5000

Serial Number: 3G44LRP4PMBD
Module Type: Lightning
Module Configuration: Stand-alone (0/0/0)
Hardware Revision: 3
Firmware Revision: 4.27
Personality: HP/Compaq
Boot Version: 3
Current Local IP Address: XXX.XXX.XX.XXX (obtained from non-volatile configuration)
Partitioning: Disabled
Current Time: 00.00:17:05.386

I confirm this also with the MSLUtil 4.2

So... was the ftp fix actually in the bios update?

[JohnWRuffo]

Just checked another Library I updated... no change to the ftp address... so it was not a corruption in the bios or a shortfall. It's just not there...

Is another bios in the works to correct this or will it be another three months?

Can you poke Mr. Cross for an official answer?
