I think CBM is shipping 2090A's with a new ROM which waits longer for the
drive to initialize. I am waiting for one in the mail at this moment. The
older ROM is #390230 (3145) and the new is (2FEF). This is one of the ROMS
with the paper sticker on it and the number i showed in brackets is the
last number at the bottom of the sticker (Checksum maybe). The numbers are off
the top of my head and should be close enough for you to know.
