I may be incorrect on this, but I believe the ROM chip is in the little
square on the back of the 92 that warns you not to remove it or it won't
work. Its to my understanding that when you buy the RAM upgrade (only
available in Europe currently), you're buying a new ROM chip with extra RAM
on it. So ROM upgrades are easy.
