I will now prove I am a good student, as Peter once answered me, to this same question, thusly:
� Rev. A is $77D.40F2 (early /233s and /266s) Rev. B is $77D.45F1 (late /233s and intermediate /266s) Rev. C is $77D.45F2 (late /266s and all /300s and faster) These are the real, hard ROM IDs. � Thanks, Peter!
