I don't know about these ROM's, but SCSI hard drives are now around
$250 for 20Meg drives! I know for fact you can hook a SCSI drive to
your LaserWriter, and put ANY font you wish on it. This is the solution
many typesetters use for their LaserWriters and typesetters.

I seriously doubt Apple will sell you ROM's for less than $100. So
as soon as you want three, the drive saves you money.
