- Regarding my last message - Ive just registered the fact that they refer
- to a code in the OS ROMS. Either this is a material inaccuracy on
- Acorns part or my last posting issued from the wrong part of my
- anatomy, sorry.
-
- Including an ID on the RISC-OS 3.1 ROMS sounds like a good idea. I assume
- that the ID chips are PROMS which are then blown with a unique number, so
- it would sound like a good idea to produce a ROM incorporating a few
- bytes of PROM for holding IDs.
-
- The only snag will come if Acorn decide to produce RISC-OS 4!
