The new ROMs give you MouseText character support, some improvement in
screen handling during modem use at 1200 baud and above, and support
for 3.5" drives on the //c.  Nothing on the old ROMs are really "broke".

If you plan on using a modem sometime in the future, you should have
the system clock crystal replaced; the original ones tend to be just
a bit out of spec, making trouble with 1200 baud and above operation.
