I received some more new ROMs from Atari yesterday.  Happy to report that
they appear to work just fine!

The first things I noticed were a *substantial* decrease in time required
to boot, because the time it takes the machine to clear out memory is now
much less.  Hmm, makes that extra meg seem much more tempting ;-)
Overall disk performance seems to have a good boost.  I ran TINYPICS from
my Supra disk, and it was noticeably faster at switching pictures.  The only
copy protected thing I currently own is Chessmaster 2000, and I haven't
given that a whirl as yet.

Thanks to Allan Pratt and Neil Harris for their comments and help, and to
the Net.people who confirmed my guesses about the ROM placement.
