Jetbook firmware upgrade

sanick · Messages: 1

I noticed that the link to the firmware upgrade was removed from http://www.jetbook.net/upgrade.php. I had a problem with upgrading to JL04_v033g and wanted to try to download it again.

Could you tell me what the latest jetbook version is and where I can get it? I am presently running v0.30i patch v12.

Thank you for your help.
