I have heard this said many time, and don't quite believe it.  My 1985 520
was shipped without ROMS; I installed them myself the first week they shipped.

I was really perplexed when some programs ,including MTC-SHELL, LATTICE C and
others, worked great for anyone but me!!!  The answer that I got was that I
seem to have a very early ROM set.  The Megas have another, and now 1.4 is
available.  I've also heard that there are more than a few motherboard versions
available.

Now it would have been nice if Atari had sent notices informing me that there
were upgrades I couldn't afford, or that there was improved noise rejection
in the newer models, but it wouldn't have changed my machine one bit.

I would have loved access to the new ROMS for the last few years, but the
free patches involved $0, and let me save my money for the other "upgrades"
as they became avilable for my software library.
