P.S. Why would anyone be wanting the batch 2 firmware? It took the ability to overclock via the GUI away and was the first thing I removed the day I got my batch 2 machines....
Ask the people online who are looking for it. I just filled their request for it. As far as fudd he don't like free versions put out because he loses sales to firmware that can meet a person needs without the dev fee. If you want fudd controlling your miner then use his stuff I prefer to lose some speed over letting him have the ability to shut my miner down or depend on his api server to make my miner run.
