If you remember the 3600 upgrades, there was a great deal of concern regarding what would fit and would not fit in the 16MB ROM the 3600's used. A number of enthusists from a number of different sites voiced their concerns in this regard; and suggested a number of different combinations for what should have been included in ROM and what should have been a RAM upgrade.

I think in order to stem that debate from resurfacing, the 32MB ROM limitation may have been introduced. I could be wrong, tho. This is just a guess...

I do believe that eventually, read the NEXT update, 395x's will no longer be included. I really think that the ROM will exceed the 32MB limit in the 3950's and 3955's, meaning a 48MB ROM will be required.

however, I wouldn't be surprised if the 5450/55 is dropped from updates AFTER PPC 2003. There are so many issues with Wi-Fi in this unit. I have no idea if they ARE in fact all driver and memory related; or if there is some hardware based constraint contributing to the problem(s).

Its just a fact of life unfortunately... At some point, all devices will be dropped from active support. I AM surpised to see the 1910 dropped from this update. I really thought HP might try to give customers the update they were asking for.

Kind Regards,
