I just skimmed over the FAQ and found some inaccuracies:

>There are 3 major versions of the GS: Check the initial power-up screen.  It
>will say ROM 01, ROM 03.  If it does not say either, you have the Original
>(Woz Signature edition). You must upgrade  it in order to run current system
>software. The ROM 01 has 256K on the motherboard, while the ROM 03 has 1 MB
>on the motherboard.   All the enhancements of the ROM 03 (except the 1MB, of
>course) can be added to the ROM 01 simply by booting up with current system
>software.

First off, it implies that all ROM 0 machines are signature editions. Even if
you disregard all ROM 0 //e upgrades that went out, I strongly doubt that every
ROM 0 was a signature edition.

Then there's the part about how the current software makes a ROM 01 the same as
a ROM 3. No wonder people keep posting asking what makes a ROM 3 better. I say
we make a canonical list of reasons why a ROM 3 is better and add it to the 
FAQ.
