Subject: IIcx ROM Question
Summary: Will a ROM Upgrade be needed to run sys 7 properly on IIcx?

Can someone tell me whether it will be possible to put 20 megabytes of
physical RAM in a IIcx and have System 7 use it all properly?

Will this require a ROM upgrade?

Will IIci ROMs work in a IIcx for most intents and purposes?

If the ROMs in a IIcx are not 32 bit clean, can they be loaded to RAM
and patched around using the PMMU?  Has any third party company
thought about this [the VIRTUAL people come to mind.]

Can someone help with some answers?  Thanks.
