    Wouldn't it be nice if the ST had 256K of low power battery
    backup up static RAM which could be write protected, instead of TOS ROMs.

    You could load the version of TOS you needed for a particular
    program. Total compatibility with all software.
    Bug fixes would be easy.
    (Just think, regular bug fixes and revisions of the OS
     just like for real computer like our VAX  :-) )

    Are there any technical problems that would stop you designing
    a add in board to replace the TOS ROMs in this way?
