- I don't know what the bob wooley (sic) rom is, but the CSS XF551 conversion
- does not come with a ROM to go in your 'XL. It comes with parts to be
- soldered into your '551. This (the Bob Puff) conversion to 720k drives
- supports high speed I/O. Note that you need either Sparta DOS or the
- US+ OS to take advantage of high speed I/O. Your old disks (if you use
- 5.25) will read only slightly faster. If you create new disks with the
- Ultra-Speed skew, they will read appreciably faster.
