- Yep. Not that the BBS was very informative, apart from "good day, ROMs will
- be here soon" (message from late July, stayed there til shutdown in late
- August) there was no info on it, and the Sysop replied in all CAPS and with
- lots of typos. It was a shame, but still it's strange they just closed it.

- that makes a modem unique. So, you can really swap ROMs between a say Supra
- and CSR and it'll work?

- *Deep sigh*. Well, at least it seems as if we could see the ROM at last, so
- perhaps Supra FRG grabs it, too.
