        I don't know 'bout problems with burning the ROMs, but the ROM 03
has some -VERY- maddening bugs - like not running half of the FTAs demos.
I have a ROM 03 (sob). One of the advantages is that thr ROM 03 has a
keyboard selection in the control panel and the 01 doesn't. The 03
can do keyboard buffering with it. As far as I know, the 01 can't. :)
Hope this helps!!
