 No, I had big problems because the only way to replace essential
 things (like exec.library, graphics.library) was to replace the ROM.
 ROM cost money and you have a big chance that they don't work
 either (upgrading the ROM caused my weird HD-Controller not to 
 get detected and thus used anymore :(( )

 asl is a very odd thing..... but the possibilty of patching the
 pointers to it and so use any other library instead is
 one of the most beloved features.....
