well, believe it! i use my rom 03 like i used my rom 01 - for doing demos
at our local user group for years. i run various applications like
appleworks gs and 5.01, spectrum/sis/marinetti on a ppp connection,
desktop publishing with publish it 4, synthlab plus numerous other demos.
i have a 2mb ramdisk set up and frequently read and write to the card
constantly. my card has all 'a' chips and works flawlessly in the rom 03.
i also use a focus card, a vulcan 100 gold and a transwarp running at
12.5mhz.
