[NTLK] How to open .bin file

[Sylvain Pilet]

Hi Pawel and all,

The file k-diags-1.4.3.bin.gz (k-diags-1.4.3.bin) is not corrupted!
If I remember correctly, this file is not a standard .bin file but a binary image of the 1 Mb Flash card called K-Diags, which was used to test the eMate 300's. Therefore it cannot be readable as a file since it is a "clone" of a PCMCIA Flash card. 
There was a thread about this image at this address :
