Hi,
2008/6/13 Dominik Kuhlen <dkuhlen@gmx.net>:
Are you sure that the 450e does need a firmware?
I know that the 452e does not.
Yes, the 450e uses firmware of the 400e (the hardware seems to be identical).

As the 400e firmware is rather hard to find, I send complete extraction script for driver found on the Pinnacle site (new version; firmware is the same):
