I thought, this could be interesting 
Until now, i only found 1 source, and that's a beta, newer than the original one. The original firmware has problems with big panos, this beta hasn't. I just asked the poster about a newer final one, but he hasn't heard of celestron about a newer one (see last post).
So head over to timescapes.org
The firmware had been downloaded 15 times until i stumbled on it. I'm curious, how far it will go now

I can also confirm it works.
To update:
- need read instruction on 15-16 pages http://www.skywatcher.com/swtinc/custom … class2=220
- use SynScan firmware loader http://www.skywatcher.com/swtinc/custom … class2=110
- and firmvare from Socke post http://forum.timescapes.org/phpBB3/down … 18d850f160

Socke, thanks to you, I have successfully updated the firmware of my Merlin AZ GoTo head! This is crazy! 
Thanks again for a wonderful find!

Socke, Yoshiharra
can You check 5,6,7,8 speed rate in hand controller? Does it work fine?
Offline
I find also
1.
If use video tracking up/down - time duration don't stop after time I declare. And there is no question "Start over?
For example I declared 2 minutes tracking. After 2 minutes slewing is stopped (OK), but time on hand controller screen don't stop. Only when I use esc key -> is question "Start over".
If use left/right tracking - time duration stop after time I declare (OK).
2. video tracking by left/right AND up/down in ONE TRACK don't work perfect. Up/down tracking is 1-2seconds longer. Should stopped in the same time.

It is not necessary to chceck. I think if You have bug with 5,6,7,8 speed rate You (and other with merlin) will have other bugs I wrote. Just wanted to inform.
"is it different to the original merlin-handcontroller behaviour" - 3.09 firmware is designed to allview mount, not merlin. So ...

For those, who want to stay with an official source for the firmware:
Celestron offers exactly the same firmware (with the b18 in it's name) as a fix for the allview since October 2012:
