I don't think anyone is looking for a free lunch.  I certainly am not. 
All
I want is the _opportunity_ to upgrade my machine to current standards. I
will pay a reasonable amount of money to do so.  I don't expect Apple to
take
my SE/30 up to IIfx performance for free.
 
One of the "exciting new features" of the SE/30 was that ROM SIMM, which
was
added in order to make ROM upgrades easier, according to both media
reporting
and Apple's own documentation.  All I am asking is for Apple to deliver on 
that
implicit promise.
Has Apple given up on the Rom Simm. they soldered the rom in the Ci, si,
Lc and I think the FX also.
