Apple has reciently put a crack-down on mac roms. There is now, no how, totaly impossible to get them now. You can not buy them from delears, simply because the delears can no longer order them for stock. The parts polocy has changed, and all mac roms are now EXCHANGE ONLY! Failure to send back an exact rom for one thats orderd results in a $500 sur charge to the delear per rom! I know this because I am a apple service technician, it used to be possible to order most any mac rom for $40 each, but now they are exchange only, no stock! ctfm
