- This is not true. I run a GVP Series I controller with updated roms
- installed. Does a damned good job, doubles the speed of the controller. I
- run WB 2.05 without any problems. I don't know what version ROMS I have, but
- I'm sure they are less than 4.0. They were purchased in late 1990 from memory
- (when the updated roms and Series II controllers first appeared).
