	No, only the core of the OS is in ROM (A500/A2000) or WCS (A1000).
The FFS isn't going to be in ROM till 1.4 .  The new printer drivers, ram disk,
etc... is not in ROM.  My StarDrive.device is not in ROM.  A whole s*itload of
stuff is not in ROM, but in disk libraries and devices.  All the ROM devices
and libraries have RAM hooks (i.e. the library base's, various system lists,
etc...).

	And this stuff is rather easily unhooked, eh?
