Yes.  You need the latest ROM version.   I don't recall the part number,
but any Heath/Zenith retail store can tell you.  I had no trouble at all
doing this a few months ago.

I don't believe you tried very hard.  I called their customer support
number and told them what I had and what I wanted to do.  They told me
exactly what ROM I needed and how much it costs.  Try to get IBM to sell
you a ROM upgrade to the PC 1!   The ROM was only about $12 by the way.
I've always found Heath/Zenith more than reasonable to deal with;
considering this is a mass market now.
