Fascinating. I didn't realize that Suunto did that, but I think it's a
great move.
Oddly enough, it seems to not be a regular microcode update.
Apparently you have to send in the dive computer to an authorized
service center to get the Bühlmann mode activated. Very strange.

The fact that you have to actually have an authorized service center
do some work makes me think that there is some hw side to this
upgrade. I wonder if the USB ID changed. That would explain why we
can't even open it.
Can you do "lsusb" or whatever the OS X version of that is to show
what the USB ID is when the device is plugged in.
Also, it's almost certain that other things changed too, ie I would
expect a few new protocol details. The Suunto download format is well
designed and extensible, so it might all "JustWork(tm)", but I
wouldn't be surprised if there are other changes.
I guess I should dig out my old EON Steel and send it off to Suunto
myself. I've been using the EON Core for diving, but I have an EON
Steel somewhere still ..
