- The Bob Wooley rom is the original XF551 upgrade, which just changes a few
- bytes in the drive's OS so that it can handle 80 tracks. It does double speed
- like the original XF551. Bob Puff's upgrades are advertised as being even
- better, with ultra-speed i/o (like a US Doubler), and without the XF551's
- notorious density-switching problem. And there is the dual drive upgrade that
- lets you use a 5.25 and a 3.5 floppy drive at the same time, each with its own
- drive number.

- (No, I don't work for CSS, and I don't even own one of these upgrades--yet.)
