Q: Problem with Sonnet Encore/MDX G4 Duet CPU install

Hi all vintage MAC'ers

I have had my G4 MDD since new. years ago I bought the Sonnet 1.8 upgrade but never put it in because my MDD died and I am just now got around to fixing and upgrading everything. It is up an running on 10.5.8 with 2 HDD (500) & (300) and 2MB ram. Following the instructions, I am trying to update the firmware before installing the CPU. when I click on the firmware update icon, after 10 seconds it gives me a FATAL ERROR-cannot connect to ROM notice. I have ROM version of 4.4.8f2 which the manual indicates is OK and I am in the programer mode.

 

          Thanks all for any help, I have 4 Macs including a new iMac but I miss my OS9 apps
