-	Can't be done.  There is no place to put the ROMs.  The 2090 was
-designed before the autoboot architecture (well before), and the 2090A
-is a modified 2090 that can accept the roms (large modifications).

You could put the ROM's somewhere else in the computer... I got a 'product
preview' of the A2090B at the Hannover Fair, and it is a half-size card
with the auto-boot ROM's. Rumours say that a third-party developer has
made a 'daughter-board' that could be put on the A2090, but that's nothing
more than a rumour. The A2090B seems better anyway, since the daughter-
board probably will make the A2090 take up more than one slot.

Anyone knowing anything about price and availability?
