I ran Security Update 2019-003 on my 8,1 Core i7 MBP but had to go somewhere before it finished downloading . .today i discovered that my 8,1 bootrom had upgraded from 82.0.0.0.0 to 85.0.0.0.0

Bear in mind that you HAVE TO run the Security Update 2019-003 to achieve the upgrade.

Today, the MBP 9.2 got updated from 10.14.4 to 10.14.5.
Along with 10.14.5, the bootrom went from 224.0.0.0.0 to 226.0.0.0.0.

Odd, as 224.0.0.0.0 was only a week or so old.

The MBP 8.1 shows no new updates...
