I called calculator support a couple of days ago, and the guy said the
following:

1. Only ROM revision A is "out there",

2. In general they don't upgrade calculators to new ROM revisions.
Someone previously mentioned that they will upgrade if the defect if
fatal to your work, so this statement is apparently not without
exception.

Beats me why the "anomaly list" (oh please, give me a break) has
defects for A-D revisions.  I guess that's the lead time the chip
plant has on the final product.
