- Not being able to change the datapump code is a bit of a
- disadvantage, but if you've had a chance to use a Rockwell based modem
- you'll notice that a LOT can be changed by simply changing the controller
- code, includinging working around most bugs in the datapump. But not
- being able to change ANY code at all without returning the modem to the
- factory can be a big problem. Unless the modem is VERY stable, soldered
- EPROMs are a VERY bad idea.. And from the looks of things in these message
- bases, the new model Sportsters are pretty fare from being very stable..
