It may be simpler than that.  I wrote a letter to Atari Customer Support to
ask how I could get my Rev B Basic upgraded to Rev C, and the reply stated that
I should send a copy of my receipt for purchase of the unit, and they would
send me a Rev C cartridge.  Since the receipt had been tossed, however, I was
unable to comply.

This was a few years ago; I don't know whether the offer is still good.  In
retrospect, it would seem that one should also be able to pop the PROM out of
the machine and send that in; however, I don't know that this would be an
acceptable alternative to Atari.
