Joachim can indeed provide the v1.8 ROM.

Pricing now is (due to a weak US dollar):

TWGS Cache 32K    Option C  ("almost plug-and-play") US $59
Firmware EPROM v1.8s for TWGS Cache 32K  US $14

Shipping is also more.  I don't know what it would be for the cache alone,
but I shipped the TWGS cache with a LANceGS and a MicroDrive for a total
shipping of $25.
