- A number of companies sell rom adapter kits that would let you
- run the standard 2.04 roms for the A2000 in your A1000. Have
- you looked into those ? Then you wouldn't be put into the
- position of defending software piracy.

- Ah, I see you've thought about it, at least a little. If you've got
- extensive loading on the bus, then probably you should switch your
- writable control store module to a rom, and lessen the load on your
- bus. Its only 256K of ram, which you more than make up by getting to
- use your ram card as system ram, rather than as storage for 2.04.
