Heh, I still have 1.3 ROMs in my otherwise beefed up A2000 (Zeus 040
acc. w/ SCSI-2 & 28MB 32-bit RAM, GVP SCSI w/ 6 MB 16-bit RAM, 5 GB
disk, Retina Z2, GoldenGate 2 bridgecard, NE2000 clone + AST 4port
serial card).  I have thought of upgrading to 2.0 sometime, but I'm
not a high-end hacker :-) :-) :-)

PS. Fun info: My Zeus + Atlas reads about 5.8MB/s sustained (64Kb
    blocks, raw device), but /dev/zero (I.e. copying instead of
    DMAing into mapped mem) only gives about 4.5 MB/s.  Well, I
    believe JTC is slowly working on optimizing the string and memory
    functions for higher end m68k processors.
