[TenTec] Jupiter update with CW

[Henry Mackey]

John,

You have asked a very interesting and timely question. I know what I would have done had I not decided to go for the upgrade. Even now as I have placed my order for the upgrade I am not totally sure I will go through with the change when it arrives. Therefor I too would like to know the answer to your query. 

It seems to me, however, as these emails creep in that the questions that are being brought up are answered by the reading of the software and etc.

I am puzzled by what I am reading......both here and in the 
instructions/manual updates.  I have an early Jupiter with the then 
standard memory chip.  I see no advantage currently to firmware release 
1.30 without adding either the larger memory chip and/or the new blue 
screen, and cw. I don't plan to install either right now.

Does it make sense, and is it possible to do the PLD fix for when I 
decide to upgrade (maybe with the PSK personality) and I need a 
keyboard.  Can I do the PLD upgrade now  and go to either 1.30 or back 
to 1.29 just so it's done?  Do I have to go to Rel. 1.30 after the PLD 
update.  Curious minds want to know
