I've shown my buddy your post about the IdStorageChange and explained what you meant.

He is still reluctant to try this...and I can't say that I blame him. He asked if there was any proof of this. Because the original 3.02 oe-a/b read me doesn't mention anything about the TA-082s. And the 2.71 ->1.5 -> 3.02 oe-a/b guide on these forums doesn't mention TA-082s after the downgrade to 1.5.
