Re: Fun With IIgs Slot Assignments

Does the ROM03 mouse interface actually work in IIe-mode when disabled

Nope.  It was a trade off to make the mouse work with a card plugged
into the slot.  Then again, there's really not much software that
supported the IIe mouse (at least not gamewise).



The advantages of the ROM03 outweigh its incompatibilities



Really?  I've been told this before, but honestly I don't see it.
Other than loading System 6 slightly faster and freeing up the one
slot, I just don't see the advantage.
Well, he was probably alluding to the mouse, appletalk slot flexibility, extra RAM that the ROM 03 has over the ROM 1... the extra tools in ROM are nice, but otherwise negligible.
It's all a matter of preference. I prefer to keep both handy for testing - but my main GS is a ROM 03. 

Most programmers I personally know, prefer a ROM 1 though.
