It didn't respond at all using the existing cable, which (see earlier in the thread) we've confirmed is in fact a regular serial cable (I have a cross-hatch pattern).

When I supplied my own null-modem serial cable, the upgrade wizard was finally able to "see" my unit. However, it eventually hung just as alear described.

I ran it twice, just to make sure, and did notice what you've said: the second time, I needed to flash the power while it was looking for it.

Thanks, but (see entire thread) I've diagnosed it beyond that point.
