	I believe that Aladin announced 128K ROM support 16 or 18
months ago (before the Spectre came out).  I don't think they have
shipped it or mentioned it since then.

	Dave has said on several occasions that he will support
AppleTalk as soon as there is a way of connecting it to the ST.

	In the last 4 years I've been told by several ST hardware
companies that they are working on AppleTalk hardware for the ST.  None
have ever made it to beta-test.  I think they decided to back off since
they didn't see a big enough market to make it worth their time and
money.
