The ROMs for the 16bits are all the same (A500/600/2000/CDTV).
Some older A2000s (and maybe A500s) need a small patch to see the 2nd 256k of an 2.x/3.1-ROM and the CDTV can only take 512k-ROMs after you updated it's boot-ROMs, but the chips are still the same.

Running an 2.04-ROM in an A600 will disable IDE (and probraly PCMCIA too).

The ROMs for A1200/3000/4000/4000T are different as they may hold all possible combinations of IDE/SCSI/PCMCIA-drivers.

The ROMs for the A4000T even miss one library (supplied on disk) as it lacked some space after cramming both IDE and SCSI into it.

1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

@whabang

Seems there is more than 1 version of 2.04 .....

since the "normal" one doesn't have a single byte of code to support IDE :-o
