[net.micro.amiga] ROM status?

CERRITOS@USC-ECL.ARPA (12/04/85)

From: Bruce Tanner <CERRITOS@USC-ECL.ARPA>

A salesman at a local store selling Amigas told me that newer Amigas will
have AmigaDOS support in ROM, but that the existing RAM used by the kick start
disk will be freed for user RAM.  Has the RAM/ROM issue been decided?
If so, what was the outcome, and when will it happen?

Sorry, If and when we go to ROM the 256k of Kickstart RAM will go.
I suspect that this issue is still undecided.  The software poeple
just love the flexability, the accountants and hardware people 
dislike the expense.
