[comp.sys.handhelds] HP infrared printer upgrades?

mnelson@vmsa.oac.uci.edu (03/14/90)

I have pretty much decided that the extra features that the HP82240B
printer has over the ()A version are not worth tossing out the A and
plopping down $120 or so on the B (at least for me).  These things 
cost lots of money, and are of only mediocre usefulness IMHO.  The
question is... would it be possible to upgrade the A to a pseudo-B
by swapping in a ROM?  (I know that an aftermarker ROM made all of the
difference for my humble Epson RX80 printer.)  Are the folks at HP
willing to support that sort of effort for their die-hard customers?
I dont even know if it is possible to yank/replace ROMs in this thing
(I didn't want to rip off the feet to open up the case for a look-see);
am I stranded or not?

thanx in advance...  -matt
