Not so Firmware

Had a customer today who wanted to upgrade a device of his. He found a firmware upgrade that was not from the company that made his device.

Now firmware upgrades as a rule involve some risk, if they fail the device becomes a handy paperweight. Using one that is not released or approved by the company who makes it is, in my opinion just asking for trouble.
