Will OEM's provide ROM upgrades for existing Level 1 printers? 
I've got an LC-890 that I'd like to upgrade if possible.  Does
the new level just require pasting the old back end code on, or
is there a difference at the engine connection?  How much
difference is there in the size of the code?  Will the ROM
slots on the older printers be big enough for the newer code?
 
And while on the subject of NEC parts, has anyone gotten
service documentation for NEC laser printers?  In particular,
an exploded parts diagram and information on how to change the
toner station.  How do I get this and what does it cost?
