The link to the Guide Coopervid posted includes links to the firmware you need and the GUI SDF tool that you can use on Windows to flash your drive. If you're on Mac or Linux, the Guide includes examples of the commands you need to run to flash your drive.killintime78 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 21, 2025 9:43 pmForgive my ignorance, im a complete noob to all this.
