Sorry, didn’t mean to offend by my rant… I’m just frustrated that I’m not more clever, and I wanted to help by making sure that Epiphoneedge didn’t make the same dumb mistake I did. But here’s a thought: if the chips were flashed after installation via a COM port, could that same port be used to re-flash them after erasure? And (sorry to be really really not clever) what’s a COM port? I don’t see any ports on the back of the unit other than XLR jacks, MIDI jacks, and S/PDIF jacks.
