Well, I'll freely confess to not having any knowledge of hardware, but...

I just installed 4MB memory in two Macintosh IIsi's, which were
ordered in identical configuration but which arrived about 3 weeks
apart.  (Memory was from Chip Merchant, by the way.  Installation
was a snap.  Memory worked perfectly).

I noticed that the second machine didn't have the card installed that
sits next to the RAM SIMM slots.  "Odd, I thought.  What is it?" and
peered closer to the circuit board.  It says "ROM SIMM" by the card
bay.

So I have two "identical" machines, except that one is apparently
missing its ROM!  But it works...

What's the deal?
