- Erm... from Apple IIgs Technote #26:
-
- Apple currently supports two configurations of the Apple IIGS ROM, ROM 1 and
- ROM 3. In August 1989, Apple IIGS computers began shipping with a 256K ROM,
- referred to as version 3 or ROM 3 (ROM 2 was skipped since there was already
- enough confusion about the first version, ROM 0, and the second version, ROM
- 1). System Software continues to support ROM 1, but it no longer supports ROM
- 0. Authorized Apple dealers can upgrade older systems (i.e., machines with
- serial numbers lower than E704...) to ROM 1 upon request.
