Jack (or Rock), Are there any special settings for the HYPER B&W that we should know about? Of course, mine is an upgraded HYPER not a true pure bred HYPER....
Robert, Look in the Files section as I have placed new suggested settings for the HYPERs. They will apply to you upgraded ULTRA to HYPER as well. Basically...
