Well, it does not matter, since I took the HD out of the Pismo, and put it in my Lombard, started it up, and erased the ROM update program. >Did you actually shut down the machine at any point? After it completed "the progress bar" and then went into a flashing pram/sleep lamp for about 30 minutes (when theinstructions said it would restart), yes, I did turn it off. >If you did, then I would wager that caused the problem.

After it loaded and went into the aformentioned "flashing light" mode, after restarting it did the short tone and flashing light mode. I am DONE with ROM... Craig W.
