> Year 2000 edition had a nice, simple jumper which made ROM read-only

Many of us have had much more robust than a jumper, an EPROM that required UV light to erase them, and a special programmer delivering 21V to the VPP pin to program them :-) There was no need for a jumper, and as an added bonus, not being upgradable in field tended to make them less bogus (at least they were more tested than my core i7's AMI BIOS).
