I don’t see an issue hosting software/firmware files on the site. I think it would be good to have them listed and available to download similar to the documents.

Would that mean that something like the Beomaster/Beosound 5 software which is a whole Windows embedded installation could also be hosted?

Looking good, but I am a little confused about the column item number, mostly because my knowledge about item numbers is limited.

Is the item number an uniqe identifier compared to the type number? What I mean is can the item number tell if it is a MK1 or MK2 of a certain product? Could it make sense to also mention a MK version of the prouctt for clarification if it is indeed two different MK versions.

In your example you have two different item numbers that both have the same software revision which I guess is quite possible, and it could be that the revision notes were different due to hardware limitations in one of the item numbers, so fine with different revision notes.

But there could also be situation where for example Beolab 3500 MK1 can be updated to SW 3.x but can not work with Beolink wireless 1 via Powerlink, so the revision notes should be different for MK1 compared to MK2. I guess this can be handled the way you have made the setup in the example

Could it make sense to have a placeholder with notes about the updated method. For example if the update method in the table is Servicetool it might be good to mention that this can only be made through a dealer/service shop with acces to the service tool. Or i case of web updates for example for the NL/ML converter mention that the web updates are no longer available, but that it can be updated at a dealer /service shop with acces to the service tool.

Hope this makes sense
