I don't want to start up too much, but about 2 months ago a note was left
on this system that "fixed" roms were a reality and it was just up to Atari
management to decide on their release.  Does a simple decision like this 
really take 2 months.  The bottom line is should I wait for new roms for my
520, or spend extra bucks on eproms and copy the Mega roms so I don't have
to wait 3 minutes for my 4 meg 520 to boot up.
(also - are improvements to the 520/1040 a dead issue.  I remember reading 
that 520/1040's with blitters were in the future - am I dreaming?)
