There's a lot of confusion on this subject... There is no GS ROM 02 in
it anywhere! The original ROM was the ROM 00 or ROM 1.0, when you boot
that one, you just get an "Apple //gs" at the top of the screen. The
upgraded ROM is the ROM 01 or ROM 2.0, when you boot that, "Apple
//gs" shows up at the top, and there's something about ROM 01 and a
copyright message from Apple (and Microsoft??) at the bottom of the
screen. The newest is the ROM 3 or ROM 3.0(??). Unfortunately, I
haven't seen a ROM 3 before, so I don't know what it shows when you
boot it. It seems that people were confused between the ROM 0x format
and the ROM y.0 format, so Apple just made everything the same...
