I don't know if Lindis will ever support an firmware upgrade but
someone with an EPROM-programmer might help you with it. Lindis
usually supplies an ROM-image on their support disks.

The latest version I know about is the 2.43 or the like; it runs well on
my old (1.2? or 1.30) hardware. Versions 1.87 is a stable version
that ran well.

The free-space "problem" may be fixed by an alias:
set alias$free showfree -fs SCSI %*0
{this should be refined by testing on command mode or using
<FS$temporaryFS> }

Success
