that there are various ROM versions. How can I tell what ROM version
I have without booting it up? I don't have the necessary additional
hardware to power it on and see the screen or type into it (no RGB
cable and no keyboard).
Here are pictures of the ROM01 and ROM03 boards:

The differences are noticeable, between the 01 and 03 boards. You may
not be able to tell the difference between the 00 and 01 boards without
connecting it to a monitor. As another user said, just hook up a
composite video cable to a TV or monitor. The ROM 00 won't identify
itself, but the 01 and 03 will.
