Anyone else out there have the new ROMs yet?  I just got mine yesterday,
but I havent tried them yet because my power supply quit just after I
installed them.  This leads me to make two comments:

The power supply:  A conservative hand operated the wave soldering
machine the day they made my power supply.  After repeated heating and
cooling due to normal use of my machine, some of the solder joints
underneath the small power transformer developed hairline cracks.
This was not hard to fix, just hard to find.  I was *really* alarmed
when my ST didn't even power up after installing the new ROMs :-O

The new ROMs are dated 4/87.  They are all uniqely labelled, i.e.,
"H0, H1, H2 and L0, L1, L2".  This labelling is pretty obvious,
except for the fact that it does NOT match the labelling on the
current ROMs.  Am I missing something here?  I will have to guess
at the ordering of the ROMs on the motherboard; there are four
combinations that seem to make sense to me.  If there's interest,
I will post where the new ROMs should go as soon as I figure it
out (if I haven't busted any pins, either ;-)
