Hey, Thanks! 8^)
I've got a lot of old P50s out there, but few P75s,
so I'm determined to get as much life out of them as I can.

I don't have an older P75 lying around to try with,
but if you remove the POTS card from a P75 or T1/Sw56 card from a P130,
the box will think it is a P50 anyway, so it will load and run the code.
I don't know if the P130 code might damage the POTS card,
and I doubt that the POTS card would work anyway when
the code is expecting to find a T1 or Sw56 card...
And yes, if it doesn't work you can jumper it and clear the flash.
But probably should be running at least a 5.0 revision first, to
support whatever they are calling the big binaries now (FAT/Extended/?)

Try first without the card installed, just in case.
I have used this with P50s and it does work,
please let us know the results with a P75.
