Actually it would seem that most, if not all SupraExpress 33.6Sp
internal models (33.6 V/D/F, w/ Speakerphone and ASVD) seem to have
Flash ROM and thus can be updated if necessary. I've successfully done
so with 3 SupraExpress 33.6Sp modems already. It would appear that
Diamond probably has or had 2 runs of the Sp, one with Flash ROM and
one without (this is sorta verified on their modem firmware flash
page, where there's a flash update available for 33.6Sp modems that
support feature #190 from the ATI10 info). Anyone know if all current
33.6Sp modems have Flash ROM?
