As I believe it to be, some of the first IIsi's were shipped with the ROMs
soldered to the mother board. Peering inside mine I have a ROM SIMM. However,
a friend who bought his on Oct. 16 is lacking the afformentioned SIMM. Someone
please feel free to correct and flame me if this infomation is erroneous.
