Re: ITDT tool, microcode update on 3580

[CRPence <CRPbottle@xxxxxxxxx>]

  Does "eventually bombs off" mean to imply the "but nothing 
happens" noted later?

  Although probably the quoted text is directly from the following 
link, note that there are "trouble shooting" [not sure why that is 
not "troubleshooting"] instructions included there plus ITDT link 
where a minimum PTF level is noted in a readme file:
