Except that some of those devices that are broken may be on the Workbench
disk, rather than in the ROM. This means if we change the behavior of
the rom routines to only twiddle the bit it needs to twiddle, old Workbench
disks may stop working. (Or work strangely). One of our usual release
goals is that old Workbench disks work with newer Kickstarts.
