To Apple DTS and anyone else....

What is it with the //GS and Appletalk? I am chagrined to discover
that I cannot use my serial port if I also use Appletalk!

I haven't discovered what the firmware is going to do, i.e. just
turning on the Appletalk firmware in the control panel, but if
Appleshare drivers are installed and running on the system, the
machine is bombarded with interrupts that, among other things like
hinder performance, raise hell with communications through the modem
port!

Is this problem being addressed? Does the ROM-03 machine fix this?
Will the ROM-04? On a more technical nature, what is going on and how
may it be dynamically disabled?
