Mark,
   You have to remember that Apple has a deep fear of wandering ROMs and will
avoid have more than one set of ROMs for each CPU at all costs. Considering the
number of 128K ROMs floating about, I believe Apple will need to assure itself
this won't happen with the 256/512K ROMs. Maybe they will, maybe they won't...
