Hi. Instead of asking "when are the new ROMs going to be available", I'd like to pose a different question... Can someone post the list of bug fixes and enhancements which will be found in the new ROMs (whenever they come out ;-). The poster should preferably be from Atari, since this is their baby. Also, it would be nice to know if the list is merely a prelim. list (ie, vaporspec) or the etched-in-stone (silicon) list. Thanks! Ron

We will post a summary listing of new features and fixes at the time the product is released for external test. It is right now in internal test, with development (ie new things) essentially frozen. We have taken some extra time to add performance enhancements beyond those originally intended, and are now doing multiple cycles of regression testing against a library of some 800 games and programs, as well as "try to break it" type testing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roy J.

Games? Testing? Wow!
