Concerning ROM upgrades for older macs, specifically the mac II:

Apple sells something called a FDHD ROM upgrade for the II, to enable the
II to use superdrives (and combo FDHD + 800K (yes? no?))
They also sell the superdrive to go along with this upgrade, separately.

Question: Is this ROM upgrade for II owners good for anything other than
FDHD use?  Are these new ROMs 32-bit clean?  Is this upgrade the holy grail
for Mac II owners wanting new ROMs?

Please post answers.  Enquiring minds want to know.
