Now that's interesting...
I've had five separate A1200's in my possession over the years, and only one had the patch wires soldered to the ROM chips (short green wires to be precise). The A1200 that had these soldered wires was bought in late 1993, but I can't remember the motherboard revision. Out of my four other A1200's, three were Commodore A1200's and one (my pride and joy!) is an Amiga Technologies A1200. None of them have soldered wires.
What exactly do the wires do?

Until I read this thread, I hadn't even heard of this, but I'm assuming that these faults aren't too serious? How are the above faults evident or noticeable during everyday use of the machine?
Presumably my AT A1200 doesn't have them?
