code space, curiosity, & backward compatibility

Here is why I care HOW:

If the functions were available sin the ROM of a STAMP2 since Adam & Eve ate the apple, why have we been sufferring so long without it?

If it is a new function in the ROM, then how far back can I go on my controllers before the ATN function won't work?

In 1998 we had our first type of swerve, I have retroactively fit a 2000 (the first year for IFI) controller on that robot. Can I use ATN on that STAMP2?

Don't know.

I also am curious just because I am curious. Did they keep backward compatibility with older ROM's OR did they keep down code space on the current systems OR are they very clever sheep and do both (perhaps they look at the ROM version, download a table if they have an older ROM and use a newly available tolkenized implementation if they have a newer ROM)?

That is the sum total of my reason for asking HOW.

Joe J.
