Developer Ryan Mullen has just created a Python script that will allow you to update your RetroTINK devices on all operating systems, including Mac and Linux - Two OS's that were previously unsupported for TINK updates!  The video above walks you through doing it on a Mac and the video below shows you both how to set your TINK's into upgrade mode, as well as the Windows procedure. For all the links you need and written instructions, please check out the main post:
