This would also make a good case for the future ROM upgrade of "old" Amigas. Hopefully ATARI took this approach too. Keep in mind that this is entirely speculation on my part. I have no sources to confirm or deny this. Maybe someone could look at an Amiga schematic for this. James E. Conley Usenet: {ihnp4,pur-ee,purdue}!iuvax!jec I.U.
