If you've been following this discussion for the past several months, it should
be obvious that the new (bugs fixed) ROM upgrade for the 1571 is in very few
if any 1571s you can now buy in a store; the ROM upgrade was just released
for production a few weeks ago.  Therefore, any 1571 purchased before that
definitely had the bugs, and I doubt the manufacturing/distribution cycle gets
newly made equipment into the stores in less than a month.  So far, Commodore
hasn't even let it's service facilities know about the upgrade.  I guess we
are lucky to know about it via this list.  As I have said before, to use the
second side of a (non CP/M) 1571 diskette for anything other than direct mode
LOAD or SAVE is to invite eventual disaster!  Commodore, we need those ROMs -
please let us know how to get them.
Sincerely,
Frank Prindle
