Don,
If the firmware is in a socketed device you can take the device out of a
non-V version, take the device out of the V version and copy the
firmware from the non-V device into the V device using a suitable
programmer. It takes 10 minutes with the proper tools IF the device is
socketed and the hardware is otherwise identical.
I don't know whether it's worth the trouble or not. That's an
individual judgement. What I do know is that people are spending time
tossing the subject around and speculating about approaches that have
already eaten up a lot of time and didn't seem to work. I'm suggesting
one that might be simpler and also successful. Consider it all an
academic exercise if you wish.
