- Not only that, but the CD32 ROMs were compiled for *the* *CD32* and *only* the
- CD32. The only machine a ROM will work in is the one it was designed for. The
- architecture (sp) is different from machine to machine, so the ROMs are also
- different. This is also why the 4000 ROMs don't work in the 1200.
