Well, that's true if you have those oldies.  Although the ROM 3 IIGS
upgrade is less of an upgrade in my opinion than the IIc to the IIc
Plus, I certainly like my ROM 3 unit better than my backup ROM 01.
I have the ROM 01 in reserve, but I actually use the ROM 3.  I don't
think I've got but a few FTA demos that won't work on the ROM 3.
The ROM 3 is the way the IIGS should have shipped in the first
place and if Apple did that, then there would never have been any
incompatibilities since programmers would have always written for
it.
