HELLO & WELCOME

Hello,
This is a great resource. I am trying to get a Cisco 7970 up and running again. Your instructions for handling the upgrade are exactly correct, (install v8.5.4), BUT the version of software available for download is 9.4.2. There is considerable information online stating that before upgrading to v9 from anything before 8.5 requires an upgrade to 8.5.4 first, and then a subsequent upgrade to 9.4.2. Is it possible to get a download of v8.5.4? Thank you.

Hi @KingsleyHill ,

I'm out of the office at present but once I return (later tonight hopefully), I will look into this and get back to you. I probably have the version on disk but forgot to upload it.

Upon checking, I can confirm that v8.5.4 is already available for download.
