It would not be a wise idea to sell your ROM 1 GS for a ROM 3.  The main
reason is compatibility.  Rom 3 GS contains the System Disk 5.0 tools in RAM. 
Because of this, ROM 3 doesn't work with all the GS software because some of
the old software used illegal tool calls (something I don't have the tech
knowledge to explain).
