The flash usually has two parts if it's region free too - the kernel
flash and the normal - so the flashkit usually has two separate files
plus the dvrflash utility. The 118 region free firmware flashkit for the
Pioneer 107 worked fine on my Sawtooth with Jaguar and my upgrading to
Panther was no problem. I'll try the same flashkit in Panther as I've
replaced the 107 with a new one - and let you know how it goes.
