Pix 260i Firmware Update!

v.103 of the PIX 260i Firmware is out, featuring a host of new appointments and improvements, including support for the new PIX CF Caddy accessory and audio mono wave files!

Here's the full list of updates:

New

  • Support for new PIX CF Caddy accessory. Audio Poly Mode only. Approved CF cards: SanDisk Extreme Pro; Delkin 1000x
