: 1. Fix Rom Blaster       Softdisk #54

Fixes a VERY SERIOUS bug in ROM which trashes memory. Bug can show up
as random crashes, glitches on the desktop picture, etc. This affects
almost everybody in some way or another!!! Very important!

: 2. Desktip Memory Fixer  Softdisk #57

Fixes a bug causing you to run out of memory if you switch frequently
between 640 <-> 320 modes IF you have a desktop picture (DeskPic INIT,
DeskMaker, DeskColor, BackDrop, etc.). Not quite as important.

: 3. Fix disk mount bug    Softdisk #64

Fixes a bug which makes TWO 5.25" drives show up even if you have only one
connected. For some reason, this doesn't apply to me, maybe because I got
my 6.0.1 from Quality Computers and they hacked it somehow. Again, not
too important, just a nice thing.

: 4. QD II Picture Patch   Softdisk #65

Not hardly as important, in fact, it may simply take up too much memory
cuz it's a complex patch. Important if you print REALLY LARGE graphics only.

: The person wasn't exactly sure just what the four patches fixed so I'd

Get Fix ROM Blaster. The others you might want, but not necessarily.
