Epson P-2000 Multimedia Storage Viewer

This otherwise excellent unit does not seem to be able to
enlarge RAW-files from Canon 1D Mk.II and Canon 1Ds Mk.II -
is there an upgrade to the firmware for this device that
allows for enlarging such files?

Yes, that is correct, and firmware V2.04 is what is
indicated om my Epson P-2000 Multimedia Storage Viewer.

However, as already said, the unit does not seem to to be
able to enlarge RAW-files from Canon 1D Mk.II and Canon 1Ds
Mk.II - of course, there is a possibility that I am doing
something wrong.

According to page 19 of the manual, zooming of RAW-images is not possible:

"RAW files do not support slide shows, zooming or direct printing from the
P-2000."
