It has to burnt into the EPROM, unless you have access to an EPROM Burner the download is no good to you.

I just take my chip to ATS and it is done there when I am in Sydney.

I dont know if have a favourite computer store with a burner or know someone with an EPROM burner but it is fairly simple, just follow the notes in the link I posted.

Mate, got no idea, I got my Gemini through ATS and he gives free upgrades for 3 years, never paid for mine, sorry. I don't know where Allan Gould got his from, he might chime in and let you know,
