Hi Wally.

There was quite a discussion in TidBITS when this firmware problem 
first appeared. A number of fixes were offered. Here's one success 
story that may inspire you.

The link to the whole thread:

The URL takes you to message #1 in the thread. The solution that may 
match your circumstances is provided by Mark Altenberg in Message 
#18. (It's a challenge, da for sure. ;-)

Good luck - Emmy
