   Putting a 800K disk into a 512 is not a definitive way to tell if
it has 128K ROMs.  There are a few people who have upgraded ROMs
without changing the internal drive to 800K.  After all, as usual
Apple was charging much more than third party businesses for upgrades,
and the 3rd parties offered the upgrades a la carte.
   Attach an external 800K drive, and try a 800K disk.  If it works,
either:
   it has 128K Roms
   it has the file Hard Disk 20 in the boot 400K floppy.
