I cannot answer exactly this question, but I was told by the Trimble sales manager that somewhere along the lines (probably around 2000), the Tbolt software was revised with the main goal of removing a lot of the lower level settings and adjustments capabilites because too many customers were messing with what they were not supposed to and rendered their Tbolt useless, creating lots of service calls.
Unfortunately, he could not tell me which commands were affected, these changes are not reflected in the Tbolt manual, and I do not know at what revision that change was made. So, in that regard, a pre-2000 unit might be more suitable to tinkerers who know what they are doing :-) such as changing the OCXO or using the Tbolt to control an Rb standard instead of an OCXO.
