Thanks for your concern, Roy. Well, the source *is* Atari GmbH, and the date
in the ROMS is 22-Feb-89. I would not recommend using any earlier ROM versions.

Note: This all relates *only* to the German ROM version.

BTW: Maybe someone at Atari could tell us (many people in Germany already use
this ROM version, so I use plural) if the abovementioned version does/does not
include the 'rare fatal TOS 1.4 harddisk bug' Ken Badertscher told the net
about a few digests back.
