I dunno the "official" word, but I can report that the 133MHz Ross
works (i.e. boots & runs 1.6 & 2.0) with vanilla 2.25 in SS20.  It
had a 90MHz (IIRC) Ross before that, fwiw.

That said, I still took the opportunity to move to 2.25R when I could,
and a pair of sm71 now live in the other SS20 with 2.25 ROM.
