Yes they can and do here in the Boston metro area, so thats another
suggestion. I'd also call
different stores just in case to make sure one sales person doesn't give you
bum dope just
because they don't feel like doing their job.

  Q,

  Since Guitar Center and Mars Music are both "national" chain stores,
  was the clerk able to check inventory at another location?  Exp: I
  stopped at my local GC in Maryland last month which did not have the
  new 2500 or the Orbit 3 in stock at the time, I told him that I would
  be in Chicago the next week and he checked their inventory and saw
  that they had a few of each module in stock so I assume that they can
  do it with a ROM as well.

  Good Luck
