Hello, I am working with the ebsa-285 and have compiled all the information in http://www.missl.cs.umd.edu/ebsa285 (komoku project) in the archive section you will find at least three ways to flash the rom in the ebsa285 namely -Drivers created by Mark Van Doesburg (very bad, but they work) -ecos flashing utilities (the best if you want to flash using linux). Go to the ecos site (pointers in komoku) for more detailed information. -fmu, that should come with your ebsa285, the best flashing utility, but I was not able to compile it for linux. (use a DOS disk) In every case, you have to set your ebsa-285 in blank programming mode. You can download all this information from the IBM site (also, follow the pointers in the komoku webpage in the link section) If anybody is using the ebsa285, please let me know the work tou are doing and I will include them in the webpage.
