MiniPac and ipacutil

[IzeHouze]

I guess this is both a question and a statement...  I have just received a MiniPac USB new from ultimarc.  The last revision of ipacutils 0.7 does not recognize the device, so I cannot program it with linux. 

HOWEVER, since the source code came with it, I have found that the USB Vend:Dev IDs for this board do not match what the application is looking for.  I have modified the code such that it does now acknowledge the minipacs existence.  Pretty short and simple update. 

My question is, is there ANY way to brick this board if there is some other modification that I should have made before I use it to re-program the board?

If there is no way to brick it, I will give it a go.  Then I can post the patches to make this ipacutil 0.8 that will support this board.

I have tried doing exactly that patch for my ipac ve, for the same reasons, but it doesn't quite work, at least I get an error message about an unexpected value. Mailed Ultimarc about it, then tried to fix it myself, being a sw engineer.

I briefly reviewed the source yesterday, it is possiblethat the device is programmed anyway, but I have not looked into it that much (yet).

Hi,

I'm having the same issue with a new IPAC2 32 input.
I changed the vendor and device id, however I fail to get any response messages from the ipac.
any tips/ideas?
