Correction to the previous posting on II - IIx upgrades.

You can upgrade one or both of your double density floppy drives to a
FDHD drive on a Mac II WITHOUT upgrading the mother board to a IIx.

The upgrade kit (Apple part # M6051) lists for $599 and includes a
FDHD floppy drive, a new SWIM controller chip, and a new set of ROMs
(four chips).  There is a rebate of unknown amount when you return
your old ROMs.

The other upgrade kit (Apple part # M0247) lists for $499.  It is just
a second FDHD floppy drive.
