Eprom changes are very easily done, for example. In my Mephisto Lyon 32bit I have at the moment the London eprom but it would be a question of a few minutes to put the Lyon eprom back. I don't know but maybe modifying the opening book of the R40 is perhaps similar easily done? Purist Regards, Martin
