We show that a ROM-based quantum computer with one writable qubit is universal, whilst two writable bits are required for a universal classical ROM-based computer. We also comment on the time-efficiency advantages of quantum computation within this model.12 pages, 3 figures, minor corrections + section 5 substantially changedQuantum PhysicsROM-based computation: quantum versus classicaltext
