Everything I'm hearing now says that ROM 04 is either a) just a rumor or b) it
exists but won't make it to market, and usually the reason here is fear of
competing with the "low-end" Mac.  Keep in mind, of course, that these are the
same sources that said "oh yeah, it's real!" such as InfoWorld, etc
 
Actually, if they do decide not to market a new IIgs and concentrate on the
"lower" end macs, I do hope that Duet (the make-a-IIgs-mac-compatable board)
becomes a reality and smokes (and I mean _really_ smokes) Apple sales, at
least until they figure out how to make the Mac systems incompatible with it
(remember the Franklin and ProDOS?)
