Btw, you said earlier that MP900 also suffered the same Rom corruption problem. Any details? Again, unacceptable for this once and possibly still high-end machine.
it wasn't like the celux HC300 where you lose all the ROM and the device will not even boot..
mine booted and worked fine for the most part, except the corrupted parts: two common controls
(or more like one and a half
).. some built in and third party apps were affected by it to the extent of unusability
(i mean these apps here, the MP900 was still usable
). mine was not the only case
(i heard of two or three others
) so i agree it should be unacceptable. i hope it won't happen again to anyone.
anyway.. it is still a high-end machine!
For me, the marketing of NEC SAM is kinda strange. Since the tech Dept decided to deploy a full-sized USB host port on MP900, why not integrate the USB Clik driver into the sales package?
U know, NEC JP owns this Clik driver and the first version appeared as early as 1999. It had long been tested by Asian HPC buffs to be effective and easy to setup. Why not add this driver to MP900 so that it can connect to convenient USB memories in addition to mice or keyboards?
I am not over-emphasizing the uses of USB port. My point is getting the most out of something you already have. Why not put this USB port to better use when NEC had all the technical know-how?
Maybe NEC SAM has its difficulties too. My guess: it probably has a copyright agreement with Iomega? This agreement may not allow NEC to redistribute this Clik driver outside JP.
