Does the serial number start with SV?  If so, you would have to go in
and replace a chip (which is problematic if you like having the on
unit display work).  If your serial number starts differently, you
have a completely different unit (about the only thing shared is the
case), and it is CD-R upgradable.  

See http://www.nerd-out.com/darrenk/1500/1500_firmware.htm

You have to go over halfway down the page to get to the part that
talks about upgrading the CD-R upgradable units.
