   Yeah, that's mostly true, though some roms already worked in 32-bit mode,
 but you might as well get the new roms anyway.

 
  Translation of the chart: 

      For non Pivot stuff, the "needs software" means that RadiusWare 1.x
  doesn't work with System 7.0. RadiusWare 2.0 does and is on several online
 services. So if you have a non 32-bit clean mac, just throw away Radiusware,
 and you're set.

      If you have a Pivot, you need RadiusWare for the Dynamic Desktop stuff,
 but 2.0 is available on AppleLink and CompuServe, as well as here (soon).

   Basically, the hardware always works, the big menu bar and other RadiusWare
stuff requires an upgrade.
