You will have to upgrade the card. There USED to be a program to RMA it,
but no longer... You can purchase the flash card for about $850 from any
distributor.
Cisco's part number is PIX-FLASH-16MB=
CDW's part number is 247077
Enjoy!

PS. You'll have to up the RAM too, and I'm not sure what type of SIMMs or
DIMMs the classic takes. But that's a simple upgrade!

Subject: PIX Upgrade Question
I recently bought a PIX Classic, which I haven't received yet (From
America's number 1 Cisco reseller.... Ebay). It has only 512KB of flash.
Cisco's site shows 32 MB RAM and 16 MB Flash is required to run PIX Ver 5.3,
which is what I need to practice with the PIX for Firewall AND VPN support.
Is there a cost effective upgrade for the flash? Cisco's site shows
step-by-step procedures for upgrading the memory and operating system, but
does not mention how to upgrade the flash. The flash appears to be on a card
that is inserted into an ISA slot. Can the chips be swapped or is it another
proprietary/expensive upgrade? Are there any work-arounds?
Thanks,
Tim
