- Don't bother, the 33.6 Sportsters being sold in stores are based

- Yeouch!. That would be the original Sportster public release
- firmware, no wonder it sucks. USR has made MANY improvements in their
- code since then. In any case, USR has never been known as being
- particularly speedy in sending out new firmwares, especialy not when
- demand is high (as it would be now), but they DO get them out eventually.
