   I think before it becomes necessary to have
   real 32-bit clean ROMs, you'll see a ROM SIMM available for those who
   "really need it"...  (at least this is my guess - it certainly isn't based
   on any secret information that anyone has shared with me).


Well, I and a some of my collegues need it now and we don't want
to buy new machines just to get 32 bit clean. Currently Apple is
offering Mac II(x) to Mac IIfx upgrades which is great, so I can't
understand why they can't offer us a simple ROM upgrade.
Is it really that hard for Apple to give us a decent answer?
I can understand if they are waiting for a solid System 7.0 so
some of the features could be included in the new ROMs but what
other reasons could there be?
