Nope, TIC _does_ use the firmware scrolling, and loses characters in the
process unless you have the enhanced ROMs.  I just got mine enhanced about
a week ago.  Before, TIC lost characters, after it didn't.  I'll accept that
as proof...  :-)

I won't even bother to flame Apple for FORCING this upgrade (a simple matter
of swapping 3 ROMs and the CPU, then sticking a little "Enhanced" sticker over
the power light) to be dealer installed.  I'm not saying that they shouldn't
be flamed for it, just that it's not worth my time.
