There is only one point I am confused on.  Do you need the 1.3 ROMS to boot
a FFS Workbench disk?  Or is this considered an autoboot device.  I am
getting a hard disk, so I will want the ability to boot from it.  To do that
I understand I need the 1.3 ROMS.  But will I need the ROMS to boot a FFS
disk in DF0:?  Sorry if this is a repeat, but I have never heard this
question answered on the net.  

Many thanks!
