    Help - Machintosh user

    Hey folks,

    Im trying to download the firmware to get my channels working again, ive a Macintosh here and i cant seem to open the .bin file for the firmware. I have stuffit expander but it says once i try open it ' unable to determine file format' and

    'thebox_h20081222_457eE_api.bin" does not appear to be compressed or encoded. It is advised that you obtain further information about the contents of this file from the sender or provider of the file'

    So.... any ideas?

      the GTRom loader wont work in Mac OSX.

      If you have an Intel Mac install Windows and do it that way.

              Macs are still the best machines for design work et al and you don't have to make a cup of tea while you wait for PC's to load up!!
