When I click on the "Device Information" icon and check on the Version tap I cannot see the Extended Rom Version. What I see is the following:
ROM version: 1.03.00 USA
ROM date: 09/24/03
Radio version: 1.05.14
Protocol version: 1337.14
Where can I find the Extended ROM version.
thanks

the only place I see the version is in the nbf header of the ms_.nbf file.
it is not stored in the binary partion of the diskonchip, not in the registry.
I have not looked through all the cabs in the extended rom, maybe there somewhere.

Hi itsme, there is a file called version.sa.cab, I run that one but it did not seem to do anything. I still have not found the verision number of my extended rom.
Thanks anyways for the tip, if anyone should find a way, please post it.

aha, looking at it, it contains this:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\3rdversion]
"MSYSTEM"="1.58.01"
so that is where the version is then.

Great, thanks, itsme, was quite certain that someone had that answer.
So for
ROM version: 1.03.00 USA
ROM Date: 09/24/03
Radio version: 1.05.14
Protocol version: 1337.14
Extended ROM 1.03.31
If this is of use to anyone, provided I can get it out of the machine by using WinXP and USB, let me know and I post it. Would need programs and instructions to do so.
