solved: 2nd hand Catalyst, no "show flash" ?

jovan88

okay here's the deal I hope someone can help me out,
I bought a 2nd hand Catalyst 2900XL to practice the ICND2, its pretty old school, its even got 100BaseFX ports.

It seems to work + boot fine, but I can't issue a "show flash" command. I'm guessing the IOS is too old?

Some information:

Switch#show flash
             ^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

Switch#show version
