Only the Rockwell 05XX datapumps support 33.6 operation; the 04XX ones need
to be replaced. That's probably the reason why there's a $25 upgrade if you
bought before May 31 (just an EPROM change), or $69 after (datapump change
as well). FWIW, Supra want $40 US for a new datapump. (My V.FC needs a
datapump change to V.34 first :-)
