Rakkiat,

When I mentioned that a RAM card to hold the contents of a ROM card would
cost more, I think I also declined to explain how someone would download
a ROM card to the PC (or even to another '48).  I think Bill's reply says
it well enough.

As for the "delay bug".  That is not a bug (I've never seen it refered to
as a bug).  When the '48 is turned on, it checksums all of its memory. 
If you have a card or two in your '48, this can take awhile.  It does not
matter that the card is a RAM or ROM card.
