Have you ever had to decide between two models of hardware from the same manufacturer that differ only in a feature or two? For example, you know you'd love to have a little extra bandwidth on your oscilloscope but found the additional cost of the higher-end model a bit prohibitive?
Well, it isn't unheard of for a company to actually release identical hardware in multiple models with the "additional" features present, but disabled on the lower-end versions. In some cases, these features can actually be unlocked!
