- You need to be careful comparing ROM rev. US Lifestyle externals should
- be step-in-step with the Power ROMs (except it looks like they got the
- mythical rev 3 ROM us Power users never saw) UK Lifestyles originally
- released rev 2 as rev 0, it looks like they may have stopped that
- confusing practice. Internal Lifestyles were also out of step, I wonder
- if they'll be briging them up to the same rev?
-
- Still, Motorola is probably your best source. Esp. since you can arrangr
- to ship it back at the same time :^)
