Not recalling the exact details, I got the impression that it was totally a hardware problem that will not go away by a ROM upgrade. The problem pertains to the fact that 4MB and larger SIMMs follow a standard different from the one Apple had anticipated when the II and the IIx were made available. The note goes on further to say that you will be pretty much stuck with 8MB max, and that no fix (i.e., recall) is likely on Apple's part. -- -- Frank Malczewski (malczews@girtab.usc.edu)
