If, say, I had a couple dozen of these ROM 00 "Woz" machines and wanted to
upgrade them to ROM 01 and the "correct" VGC chip, how would I
do it?  I would guess that I could burn a new EPROM myself and
drop it in, but where would I get a new VGC chip without cannibalizing
a later machine?  A phone inquiry to Alltech got me nowhere fast.
