Well, it was just a question.... <grin>
I really think that what will happen is a set of two ROM releases:
1) The blitter ROMS, for use with the blitter (obviously, as soon
as the blitter's available),
2) New, non-blit ROMS, with bug fixes, a little later on.
Again, we here in the marketing department don't really have much say
in this--although we certainly pass along your ideas and wants to the
software team. I'll keep you informed as we get more info.
