- I know this isn't going to help you much now, but the best thing
- to do when upgrading to 2.04 is to buy Commodore's full 2.04 Upgrade box.
- It doesn't cost that much more than buying a bare eprom from a company
- like Grapevine, you get the nifty 2.04 manual, the jumper is already on
- the rom (much easier for those that dont need it to take it off then it is
- to solder one on) and there's less chance of getting a dubious, illegal
- EPROMed copy of 2.04..
-
- Just my opinion, anyway..
