HP Prime wireless kit

That the table is wrong is the heart of the problem: here's a link to a disgruntled owner's view of the 'old' Prime's published capability and what has been done.

As to my hypothesis--that the 'old' Prime had some ability to use the wireless kit, but that ability has been removed--I came up with that based on reading a lot of posts, mostly on the hp-prime site, but elsewhere as well. It took well over an hour and while i can probably send a bunch of links, I'm not sure that will answer the 'prime-ary' question: is the 'old' Prime capable of using a wireless device with any past version of the firmware.

As we do not yet have access to the wireless kit, testing the hypothesis will be more difficult.

Here is an experiment that might have to be done in Europe:
1) get an 'old' Prime that has NOT had the 6031 ROM firmware applied
2) get an orange thingy from a kit and attach it to the Prime
3) see if it can connect to the PC connection kit (an access point might be needed, or another orange thingy)
4) if it doesn't connect, the hypothesis is wrong
5) if it does connect, apply the ROM 6031 and if it still connects, the hypothesis is wrong
6) if it fails to connect, the reason is probably due to the 6031

Alternatively, one could try to load 6030 firmware on an 'old' Prime, but that isn't what I had in mind.
