While it would technically be possible to upgrade the logic board
so that the ROM is user upgradable off the net, I suspect that it might
not be done for cost reasons.
As it stands, the upgrade is switching an EPROM which is a very simple
matter in terms of design.
By having a downloadable ROM (of any sort), additional circuitry to
read and store the data would have to be designed and built. It hardly
seems cost effective to design/build circuitry which would rarely (if
ever) be used.
