Louis, the 4800 is a firmware update and your request is added within the list. Firmware is different than an ARC update:)

The firmware is very complicated assembler machine code and is modified under strict development planning and testing. 10,000 lines of assembler:)

Right...gotcha! Sorry don't know what i was thinking:)
