- Get the ROM... 2.04 is much nicer. Better looking, and more stable.
- It works fine for a 500 without a hard drive, a bit hard to put everything on
- floppies, but with a little work on your part (Just like 1.3) It'll work fine.
-
- You do need more than just the ROM though, you need the new system software to
- take advantage of the ROM's.
-
- p.s. the 2.05 ROM has some Layers enhancements that were mentioned about 3.1
- in the other reply to your message.
