Out of interest, I've just upgraded my RPCEmu089/519 installation from
the 16-Jul-12 ROM image, to the current one, 29-Oct-12. After replacing
the ROM image, I re-booted and found that the screen configuration no
longer worked (the config application could see the MDF, but would not
save the settings). This persuaded me to install the boot sequence from
the current HardDisc4 download, and then copy over the choices folders
and several files, as needed, from the old boot. It was necessary to re-
configure the internet connection. All's well that ends well, but I
wouldn't like to do it every day!
