Not if you've already bought USB2 earlier, it isn't....
Having said that buying USB2 previously got you a 'softload' rather
than a ROM based one

No - Or at least I haven't had one, but I reckon I've had my 30 quids
worths, since I bought USB2 when it first came out. It's probably like
buying select for RO4, you can have things early-ish and pay the
select fee and then pay again for the ROM hardware or wait for the ROM
Hardware to appear and just pay that price
I would suggest you contact Castle directly if you want specfics
either by email or phone as suggested in their news item on their
website and as stated in CSA announce... I've always found them very
helpful. This is a support list after all and I think you're kinda
trying to stir things up...
