   Fascinating. The A4 ROM set has v3.07 of the FontManager in it. But then
as the A4 ROMs had to be blown seperately, due to the fact that there appear
to be only two ROMs in the machine rather than the usual four, I am not
surprised that it has slightly newer versions of things.

   However most of the four chip ROMs would have been blown in bulk
manufacture and I would expect the versions number to be constant... Unless
extension ROMs are fitted to load the newer versions...
