PIX problem ..

I have an old PIX 506 that I would like to put to use, however when I connected via COM1 to start configuring it all I ever get is:

PhoenixPICOBIOS 4.0 Release 6.0 Copyright 1985-1998 Phoenix Technologies Ltd. All Rights Reserved

Build Time: 04/27/99 17:08:34 Polaris BIOS Version 0.09 CPU = Pentium with MMX 200 MHz

Use BREAK or ESC to interrupt flash boot. Use SPACE to begin flash boot immediately. Reading 1937920 bytes of image from flash. #

That sits there for a bit, then it reloads. Any ideas? Is it dead? =)

Is it just the one '#' ?

Maybe, but first I'd try reloading the software.

Here's a page that walks through the reload process:

Yes, 9600 8 N 1 is good for accessing a PIX console.
