Some earlier TS-7200 boards are not compatible with the SerialBlaster as
their watchdog timer reboots the board before it can download its
bootloader. I think this problem was fixed with later board revisions.

Some workstations are too slow to run the unpatched version of
SerialBlaster, if this is your case, look for a patch someone posted to
fix this.

There is also a patch for people that have large page NAND flash. (But I
don't think this effects you)

good luck,

-Curtis.
