Ok, let's see if we can get some information here we can really sink our
teeth into:

I keep hearing, from what are, not doubt -- and by no fault of their own --
probably unreliable sources, about new ROM upgrades from Atari that will
address various bugs (and undesirable "features").  Is there anybody out
there with some authority to speak on the subject who is willing to comment
on these rumours?

Concretely, I am interested in whether Atari is planning to distribute ROMs
that

	-- will allow booting of the system from a hard disk
		(i.e. if you don't have a disk in drive A:, you will
		actually be able to use your hard disk anyway, and
		you will be able to put an AUTO folder in your HD)
	-- will eliminate the ridiculous limit on 40 "folders" (i.e.
		devices, directories, and subdirectories) total (!)
	-- will remove various bugs, such as the creation of multiple
		files w/ the same name, etc.

I am also curious as to whether such upgrades will be free (as they should
be, shouldn't they?  or am I being naive), or if not, what their cost would
be.

I understand that the blitter upgrade will include new ROMs:  are these
going to be debugged?  If so, will it be possible to acquire enhanced ROMs
WITHOUT going all the way for the blitter upgrade?
