I vote for:
	*One* new ROM, that will correct the current list of known problems,
	and which will support the blitter, as an option.


Everyone should get the new ROM.  Upgrade to blitter should be one chip
add on.  The fact that the ROM is biltter ready should encourage sales
of blitter.  Keep inventory list short.  Two different ROM upgrades is
one too many.
