1. Don't forget to FORMAT your new CF before you put any files into it.

2. Don't even think about the USB. USB is NOT SUPPORTED on the Sup32/Sup720 cards.

Happy Easter!

Thanks.

But not enough.

You know, each 6509 has 2 sup720-3b and 2 CF card. I wanna know how to copy the date from the old flash to these 2 new card, shall I plug out one of the SUP720-3b and then plug out another one?

"You know, each 6509 has 2 sup720-3b and 2 CF card" < --- You mean 2 EXTERNAL SLOTS and 1 INTERNAL slot. Whether you put 2 CF into your Sup720 is something no one can tell.

"But not enough." < --- I have no idea what you mean by this and I don't even want to find out. :)

"copy the DATE from the old flash to these 2 new card" < --- Hooooooo boy! I hope I completely misunderstood you.

If you want to copy the ENTIRE CONTENTS from your sup-bootdisk: to your sup-bootflash0: and/or sup-bootflash1:, then use the command "copy sup-bootdisk:* sup-bootflash0:".

If you want to copy all contents from external flash 1 to external flash 2, then use the command "copy sup-bootflash0:* sup-bootflash1:".

Does this help you?
