8MB Flash Updater V1.1

The 8MB Flash Updater is used to update the File Mover and other System Software contained on the Handspring 8MB Flash Module. This update will NOT affect user data stored on the module. Only system information will be modified.

This update is for 8MB Flash Modules with V1.0 software only.
