I aquired a Motorola RIB that had been modified to use as a flash RIB. It doesn't work as a programming rib currently. I was wondering if someone could send me a picture of an unmodified rib(front and back sides) so I can compare it with what I have and unmodify it. I can tell some jumpers have been added, but am also wondering if any components were added as well. If needed I can send pics of my rib.
Thanks
Jeremy

Hi:

I hate to say it, but you may have a hacked
Rib Box, and I would use caution using it untill its suitablity can be determined.

Failure to do so may kill a high end radio

The Smart Rib ( Flash ) Rib is a very complex Rib Box, and the use of "Anything"
else could destroy a High End Radio.

This is a photo of a SRIB_pc....Its full of SMC Componets and LSI chips and is nothing
like the RLN4008B or E.
