I can't help feeling that this is probably a FAQ, but I can't find the
answer on the list or on the website.

I'll be looking at an Iyonix at the weekend which the owner has been
struggling to register and update.  I believe that the ROM is currently at
RISC OS 5.09 and, for various reasons, I'm not that enthusiastic about
reflashing it.  So:

1) Are there any real benefits to a non-technical user in updating 5.09 to
5.11?  Any improvements would need to outweigh the chance of breaking
things during the re-flash and/or introducing pyjamas.  It doesn't help
that I can't actually remember what the changes were from 5.09 to 5.10.

2) If the machine stays at 5.09, what is the latest disc update that
should be applied?  I can get a list of what supersedes what from the
website, but it doesn't seem to list what ROM versions are required for
each.

3) The machine was bought at last year's Wakefield show.  Is it possible
to give any idea what the first disc update to apply would be (from the
dates, I would guess 48)?

Thanks in advance,
