ROMs are on quite long lead times. Naturally, we have to do ROMs for
production. However, depending on demand (which I expect will be quite high)
we may offer One-Time-PROM [OTP] kits, which I'd like to have include the
RAM-loadable version for those who want to experiment with it before
going to an 'approved service center' to have the ROMs changed.
