	I believe it is always set to 1.  I'd be suprised if it was otherwise
(though it is possible).  The 2090 can handle interleave 1, it seems some
drives can't.

	This is possible (slowdown would still occur, it just won't be
anywhere near as bad.)  When (and if) these hypothetical roms will appear is
another question, one which I can't answer (I'm sure you understand).  We're
pretty busy, but it's certainly on the list (it's a major job). :-)
