Go up one level in this thread



>I think I recall reading that the V 2.2 module can be upgraded to a 2.5.  Is
>this still true, or did that option die with Tasc?


well its kinda sorta like  an upgrade
the Eprom itself has to be replaced
but if you wind up doing that you want to make sure you have an AUTHENTIC Tasc
2.5 Eprom

many people can make a copy of the 2.5 Eprom(with an Eprom Copier)and offer it
to you and then you can repelace it yourself

while Tasc is no longer in business i guess this is not considered
illegal,however, for the true collector having a Tasc unit with a copied Eprom
is much different then an originally released Eprom
in addition,if you ever want to trade it or sell it you would have to mention
this fact if you want to be an honorable collector(IMO)

for the non-collector i imagine this would make no difference except perhaps
from a moral point of view

for myself collector or player..i dont like the idea of non-authorized copies of
anything

this is why i wont collect modified computers..just no interest in it for me

perhaps you see this in collecting the old Vinyl Lp's??

certainly i would think you would have no interest in a bootleg copy of an old
Album

but then again,i really dont know this field..perhaps even bootleg copies are
considered collectable?




Authentic Regards
Steve
