- I knew about the 14.4-->16.8K hack code for the the sportster, and was one pof
- the many reasons I bought one.. However, I knew that USR had made another ROM
- that this code wouldnt work on (4.2), and new Sportsters were being shipped
- with it.. So I tried my luck at ordering my Sportster from some backwoods
- shithole of a software dealer in New Joisey to see if I could take an old
- (read:4.1!) Sportster off their hands for $320.
-
-
- I got a 4.2... However, does anyone know if there exists a code to allow 4.2
- rom users to kick up to 16.8?
