If the answers to these >questions are "no" and "yes", then I'm afraid its a IIc, not a IIe. I think Apple calls it a //e card because of the 'software slots'. From what I understand about it (I might be wrong, but this is what I read), on the mac side, you have icons of slots and can drag icons of certain pieces of hardware onto them to emulate slots. I, personally, think it's a //c card too. I think another reason they call it a //e card is because it'll probably sell better than calling it a //c card. The 'ROMs' may be the same ROMs as the real //e and not the //c. I don't know about the ROMs thiny, but that's just a guess. >UUCP: lsuc!graham!pnet91!sb >INET: sb@pnet91.cts.com ____________________________________________________________________ |CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED C | | |ED CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED CEN| BITNET-- mquinn@utcvm | |ENSORED CENSORED CENSORED CENSOR| pro-line: | |ORED CEBSORED CENSORED CENSORED C| mquinn@pro-gsplus.cts.com | |____________________________________|_______________________________|
