That's what I was referring to - the ROM 3 has the System 5.0 versions
of the core toolsets (the first thirteen plus the Menu Manager,
Control Manager, Window Manager and a few others) in ROM.  The ROM 1
has the System 2.0 (ish) versions of the first thirteen toolsets in
ROM.  The ROM 0 had the System 1.0 versions of the same toolsets.

Talking Mouse is incomatible in some way with System 5.0 and later
(the toolbox, not the operating system).
