I received some more new ROMs from Atari yesterday. Happy to report that they appear to work just fine! The first things I noticed were a *substantial* decrease in time required to boot, because the time it takes the machine to clear out memory is now much less. Hmm, makes that extra meg seem much more tempting ;-) Overall disk performance seems to have a good boost. I ran TINYPICS from my Supra disk, and it was noticeably faster at switching pictures. The only copy protected thing I currently own is Chessmaster 2000, and I haven't given that a whirl as yet. Thanks to Allan Pratt and Neil Harris for their comments and help, and to the Net.people who confirmed my guesses about the ROM placement. Farrell T. Woods Datacube Inc.
