Well, I'm soon to be the owner of an HP-48SX, which I ordered a few weeks ago. 
Anyway, I have several questions about the ROM revisions I keep hearing about.

1: Everyone seems to have ROM Rev. A.  Does any other revision even exist yet?

2: When a new ROM revision is released, what kind of upgrade path is available,
and how much can one expect to pay for it?

3: This last may be a dumb question, since it may be marked on the calculator,
or more likely the manual tells you how to find this out, but since I don't
have the thing yet, I thought I'd ask how you identify which revision you have?
 
Thanks!
