There are 27 Orion I firmware updates available on
http://tentecwiki.org/doku.php?id=orionfw
It's possible that only 13 were publically released and the others were
made available to the Wiki by beta testers but I'm not entirely sure. All
of the earlier v3 firmware updates are missing however. There are no Orion
II firmware updates available there.
