Will the DM42 hardware also be upgraded to the DM32 platform as part of this update?
No, this will be a f/w update like all the prior updates. (assuming that's not a joke...)

Is there a public available list of bugs, changes, news, that is planned to be included in future updates?
No, sorry it's not, but the goal is to include as much of Free42's enhancements as possible.

Re: Does DM41L have same capabilities as DM41x?

Impressive. Hope it will last - what disappeared one way may appear at the same location usually. Not for this 'kind' of issue, or probably more correct to say that there have been no reports of the black spots returning after treatment with heat, following the process Michael recommends. I don't k...

It did take 3 heating to get it all out.

1) before heating
2) 3 hrs at 76 degrees C
3) 3 hrs at 76 degrees C
4) 4.5 hrs at 80 degrees C
Thanks for the detailed photos showing the piecemeal removal of the black marks, it's helpful to convince folks the process works well.

Re: Updates for DM42?

An update for the DM42 is planned, but no timeline is available. After completing the DM32, there are some other small-ish tasks that come first but we'll get to this sometime before mid year. When ready, we'll coordinate with Thomas to try avoid a DM42 release just prior to a Free42 update, to keep...

Re: Does DM41L have same capabilities as DM41x?

The LCD in the DM1x devices is definitely sensitive to the cold and AFAIK, these spots can readily be removed every time. Michael has recommended a procedure of putting the exposed board into a (temp and timer-controlled) oven, but most folks that reported these spots (always in the winter) observed...

Re: Does DM41L have same capabilities as DM41x?

Definitely NOT the same, not even close! The DM41L is indeed a fully compatible 41CX, however it does not have/support these features: - Multiple State Files - On-device loading/saving of .raw files - Loading ROM Modules - USB file transfers - Built-in help - Customizable LCD display - IR printing -...

Re: DM41x Keyboard Problem

If the back of your unit is blank, it is indeed a BETA unit. But that doesn't mean it's a 'bad' unit or needs to be replaced... You can easily replace the dome sheet, which is the biggest change between the BETA and final units - you can order one for almost nothing from here: https://www.swissmicro...

Indeed, a beauty, I've wanted one of these for years, but like many vintage HP machines, the sellers know they are in demand, so not cheap.

I've long wondered why the plastic case is dual colored; any idea why?
