Bela,
Aren't guessing games fun! <grin> I was speculating, and I do see one
obvious problem….the daughter board takes up one of the ROM sockets (which
socket I presume would be needed for the OS ROMs) so we are really left with
the ST style OS, you can have it in RAM, but lose 256K or you can have it in
ROM and have full memory. Even with the ST's OS (TOS) in ROM, you can boot up
the TOS disk and load the OS from disk…but do lose the RAM.
One other somewhat obvious solution is to not offer the ROM upgrade to
A1000 owners, but keep that OS on disk and put the ROM's only in upgrade
machines. I mean Hazy did say "Not what everyone thinks………..
