ah, true, sorry. I got confused by the French filter, which only displays
the 1U units (up to 1550)
so indeed, the latest version for your unit is "03.00.0000".
sorry for the confusion!

fully shared feeling.
It's still a chicken and egg thing, where users like you have to report to

such things can be considered for the development / release roadmaps.

thanks for your support and understanding,
