(Apparently, the calculator doesn’t switch back quickly enough from 160 MHz to 48 MHz when the USB is unplugged, which might cause a CPU reset.)

“Early” turns out to be before December 2023, which seems like it would be practically all of the existing units.

Apparently, changing R4 from a 100k to a 22k resistor is straightforward (Michael is willing to ship the resistor along with more extreme options).

I’m just surprised to not see any discussion here, or on the SwissMicros forums, at least as far as I have been able to tell.

I too have been quite surprised to see almost no discussion at all of this either here or on the SM Forum, which tells me people are satisfied with the options Michael has offered; people can choose which it best for them based on their skills, patience, usage and convenience.

In the interim, once you install the new f/w, all you need to do to avoid the issue (which actually is rare anyhow) is to be sure to turn the DM32 off before removing the USB cable.

Remote function calling (from other state files) is a game changer and completely eliminates the limited label restrictions on 32Sii programming, but IMHO also allowing it from Calc Mode essentially expands the real-time use set of functions, just like how the 41C did the same.

Enjoy the new features!

I haven't received an email and my unit was shipped May 2023. Looking inside R4 is labelled "01C" so 10KΩ (not 100k as stated earlier).

Maybe the emails are being sent out on a rolling basis?
