I have a questions about this rom upgrade.  I have a 1571 disk, and whenever
I put in a disk formatted on a 1541 drive, and then try to load'$',8 the
drive loads it fine, but, the led flashes for about 20 seconds before it
finaly realizes that things are fine.  I have tried many disks, they all
do this, I have also tried this on friends 1571's, and the same probelm
shows up.  However, if I format the disk on the '71, then its fine, and takes
no time at all to read it.  I assume this is normal, but why???
