I'm hoping Fred Bowen or someone else at Commodore might read this and
have the scoop on this.  Lately, there's been some discussion on our
local BBS about a ROM upgrade for the 1581.  I knew about the WD
controller upgrade, but not about a ROM upgrade.  One of the folks who
mentioned this, a hardware developer, certainly knows the difference
between a controller and a ROM, but he also told me he had no idea
what the upgrade fixed, since he didn't have any problems before
replacing it, and didn't notice anything different after replacing it.

Is there anyone out there who can fill me in on this?
