TOPIC

    This article describes the limitations when upgrading international versions of an Apple MessagePad in the United States.

    I purchased an Apple MessagePad 120 with the ROM v 1.3 while stationed in Germany. Now that I have returned to the U.S., I would like to get the MessagePad upgraded to the 2.0 ROM. Will Apple Computer upgrade a German ROM v 1.3 at the U.S. upgrade facility?

DISCUSSION

    The ROM is not the only difference in these units. There is also a German language set of silk-screened buttons at the bottom of the touchpad or display.

    There is a limitation for the upgrade on an Apple MessagePad with an international configuration. Apple Computer will do the upgrade for the standard upgrade price plus shipping and handling. This does not include the replacement of the touchpad or display.
