Re: IIGS Mouse control panel



There is a down side to the ROM 3. Some programs that break Apple's
rules will not run on a ROM 3. Nobody has mentioned this in the thread.
I know at least one of the FTA's programs doesn't work on the ROM 3. I
don't remember which one, but one of them crashed a ROM 3 whenever I
tried to use it, yet it worked fine on my ROM 1.
