I don't see any reason why they SHOULD update chips. Its an undocumented EXTA
feature that they decided to add at the last minute. Since its neither
supported nor documented, I don't think they are even morally obligated to
update any machines. I agree, it would be NICE if they did… but then, they'd
have to Support and upgrade Everyone's machines… which means a Recall, since
dull-users should never be allowed to upgrade machines themselves, cos all
sorts of hassles are created! No; its a case of, Whatever is Standard on ALL
machines, gets supported. Any new features they add during manufacture can't
be relied upon when designing software for the machine. – Jez.
