- NOPE! Zoom sends out new ROMs for FREE just for the asking. You don't even
- have to tell them WHY you need the new ROM (e.g. tell them what problems
- your'e having).You just have to install it yourself- which is not too hard if
- you buy a chip puller (under $10). For the ROM just call 800-666-6191 or
- Email zoomrep@aol.com Actually a new ROM should be out very shortly and you
- may want to wait for it- I don't know what the improvements are.
