[net.micro.atari16] ROM Operating System

        A local Atari dealer reported that ROM upgrades for the original
520STs are in short supply.  Dealers were shipped just enough ROMs to
update the machines they had sold.  Unforunately, there seems to be a
missed communication between Atari and at least some of the dealers.  I
bought the ROMs from a different dealer, leaving the poor guy at least
one short.
        Appearently, *extra* ROM sets will be available, I assume as reapir
parts, but at a much higher price. (Only as it should be, I guess)
        It now appears necessary for a redistribution of the available
resources.  How about it Neil @ Atari?  Will Atari poll its dealers for
an inventory of ROM sets, and request (or direct) redistribution?
