  This one, a plain-jane 1040ST, is a Rev C m/b and has the original
6-chip ROMs with TOS v1.00. I made a bootdisk to boot into TOS v2.06,
which works fine at the expense of 256k of RAM, it's not a permanent
solution. Are the 6-chip ROM images for v1.04 available anywhere? I've
found the TOS ROMs here & there, but not the idividual chip images. Come
to think of it, are the ROM chips soldered or socketed? I looked while
cleaning it, and have already forgotten....
