- You read it right. The latest ROM version is J. Externally,
- the only big difference in version J is the speed of the Equation
- Writer. HP rewrote the code and increased its speed by a
- factor of about 2. Everything else runs at the same speed
- though (sorry, no CPU speed-up).
-
- If you're wondering, I don't think versions F through I were
- never released.
