I've got the same problem. OP did you ever figure out, and fix this problem?

Mikel,

What is the difference between the 9r12 crom and the 9r14 crom? I'm having a hard time, trying to upload the update. Just wondering whether its worth my time.

My Predator has the 9r12 version in it, is there any advantages to update to the 9r13 crom? I was just wondering, b/c Im having a little trouble accessing the serial port, to upload it.
