Well if you have a Mega or a newer 1040, you have the 4/22/87 ROMS that Mark mentioned. BUT, what about the old 520s (like mine) and the older 1040 machines that have the ORIGINAL ROMS? Sure, the Mega can have the new ROMS because it has the required sockets for them (2 sockets). BUT, my machine has the smaller-capacity 6 sockets, which don't support the 1 meg chips 1.4 will use. A daughterboard is required to interface the chips into the sockets I have now. Now I know that Atari's attitude is changing quite a bit towards the better (something I really like to see). It will be interesting to see if it changes enough to put out this fantastic upgrade for ALL machines. I really don't care about the BLITTER, but 1.4 is almost a necessity (it fixes SO many things and speeds up others). I guess it's a "wait and see" game now. =cf=
