	One thing that one *must remember here though.

	Although one can boo ththe old rom from floppy, that does not 
	mean the program will work. I have the Blit roms installed in my 
	machine, and although say a program bombs with say 4 bombs, when 
	I boot the TOS on disk, and then run the program, I get 2 bombs, 
	er mushrooms... 

	One comes immediatley to mind, say ST Accounts.

	Also remember that many are self booting disks, and don't always 
	blow GEM\TOS out of the machine.
