I certainly would like to have access to the later firmware; however
downloads of 338 and 340 MB seem a little silly just to get a few
hundred KB of firmware. Have you found any other sources with 508.XX
firmware?

I notice in your extraction that there are now ucode files for
revisions 16, 17, 19, 20, and 21.
