Hmmm .. that sounds like a problem :-)

I guess what I would do next, is:

1.  assume the problem lies with the MAC and VPC, and the way Update 
works (or doesn't) in that environment
2.  beg, borrow or steal a Windoze laptop with a serial port and install 
Update and the firmware load on that
3.  reload the Orion from the Windoze system.

I had a similar problem (partial load, thhen failure, and a dead radio) a 
long time ago when I first put up my USB/RS-232 converters.  Reloaded 
the O from my laptop with a cable, and then went about solving the 
problem with the other stuff.
