When I upgrade my AximX5 Basic I do it on this note:
"1. Extract files
2. After extracting the files, run setup.exe in the R64365
3. Create a Backup of your ROM in a place where you can find it (on your desktop say)
4. Install Hex workshop by running hw32v410.exe
5. In Hex workshop, open the proper image file from the dell download for your machine. (the one with H for 400, the one for L for 300)
6. Then in Hex workshop, open your ROM backup. You must paste the machine ID from your backup file to the 2003 .IMG file. In Hex workshop, this is everything from just after "A03" to where a whole bunch of zeros start. In my backup, it was 14 1/2 "quads" of numbers. Just select, copy, then select the same amount in the 2003 file, and paste.
7. Save the changed 2003 file as an .RIS file.
8. Now, use the R64365 setup.exe, and restore the changed 2003 ris file to your Axim. It takes a while. DO NOT TOUCH EITHER MACHINE UNTIL YOU GET THE 2003 WELCOME SCREEN. (although there were some that got hung up at the blue screen and removed the battery and backup battery, I did not do this. The system reformats the empty space on your Axim, and this takes a bit. Restore process was about 20 mins on my system.
IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT ANY OF THIS, DO NOT DO IT!!!! IT WORKED GREAT FOR ME BUT I AM FAIRLY TECHNOLOGICALLY ADEPT. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK."
