I have found this web page while searching for the latest firmware for my PD70X which I still think is a very robust and dependable tool. Do you happen to have the 2.2 version of the firmware available? Would you possibly be able to send it to me? I have looked on the manufacturer site but they do not even mention the PD70x.
Many thanks for any help you can provide and my compliments for your site. Very informative!
Best regards.
Roberto

Not completely surprising. But anybody wishing to buy from Eastgear should remember what they think of previous customers.

Additionally, the Eastgear.com web site is full of errors (including an incompletely installed eCommerce solution). Sounds like either a company with a big issue of web management or a company on the brink of total failure (or both).

Today, I would suggest to think twice before buying a Nexto from Eastgear.

The only photo storage device is from NextoDI. Looks ugly and does not beat what’s HyperDrive is offering.

They don’t even bother to support it’s customers that got the CompactDrive from them by offering directions/instructions/support on their website. Even the CompactDrive.com website redirects to eastgear and you get page 404.. page not found. That is just sad.

You’re better off getting stuff from HyperDrive… at least they support their discontinued products and also show what newer and better stuff is available.
