It is highly unlikely that any kind of non-utility software will require
anything present in ROM 3 and not present in ROM 1.  It's certainly nicer, but
all the functionality (except revised firmware for slots) is pretty much
present in 5.0.
"

Uh...why wasn't the new slot firmware included in 5.0?  Or can the System
Disk simply patch, revise, and add tools, and not do other kinds of changes?
(The control panel changed in the new version...)

Is there an actual HARDWARE change in the was slot usage works?
