	All you should need to *run* 2.0 will be the new ROM (and the
appropriate disks). No need for one meg of chip memory, but the more, the
better, I always say! :-)
	A one meg Agnus is nice for very large workbench screens and the
new Denise is nice for productivity mode and the new genlock stuff, but
neither is really needed.
