there was a rom dump completed message at the bottom.
and there is 384K of Flash ROM.
the first time i tested the program, i did a ram dump and everything went
fine. the calc displayed 0K on up to whatever. but the
dumprecv program didn't recognize i was getting a dump. so it just
sat there waiting. when i finished, the program said done, but
nothing happened because the program didn't know i was sending a ram
dump. i tried this with the rom dump, and got the same
results. i then exited out of the program and restarted. then
everything worked fine.
the only problem was it said i was 675K complete on the calc and 1700K on
the dumprecv program.
