OK, this is my first update on the O2... The program "settings" menu says
select the com port you want to use and it will configure it for you.
Problem I had, of course using Windows 2000, was real slow line read and
finally a communication failure. Had to configure the com port manually
from 9600 baud to 57600 and the thing worked like it should and did not take
long to flash at all.
So maybe I should upgrade to XP... Oh well, all is well that ends well.

When your flash utility first starts, select "Settings". In here you will
be able to define which comport the Orion II is connected to. Once you have
done this, then power off your OII. Then hold down the "recall" button and
power on. Do not release the button until the OII says "Flash update mode".
Once the OII is in flash update mode, click "Process" in the flash update
utility. This should get you going.
