: SlotScan #1 = first version = ROM 0
: SlotScan #2 = second version = ROM 1
: SlotScan #3 = third version = ROM 3

Actually, it prints out a little message next to the ROM 02 by saying 
there is an upgrade in the original motherboard. Why wouldn't this be ROM 
01 if the original 'Woz' GS's were ROM 00. I know we don't have ROM 03's 
so this has got me mystified.
