It's news to me; I haven't heard of this.  I *have* heard of problems with
Broderbund's Print Shop GS on the new ROM 03 machine because whatever they
used for copy protection isn't supported on the new machine (the firmware
address probably changed or something like that).  Broderbund is offering
an upgrade policy to its customers.

I have not heard of problems like these on ROM 01 machines.
