Just a quick question for all the experts out there.  Apparently,
it was mentioned a couple of days, weeks, etc... ago that there
was a way using a series of key board commands to get the Classic
to boot from ROM.  Is there any truth to the rumor?  

We need this information because if it is true, then the Mac Classic would
be an excellent candidate for a secure operating environment for use
in government contracts, etc...

Another question that just came up thinking about this one, could there
be a system placed on a RAM chip?  This would also solve the problem.

Please e-mail reponses, and I will summarize.

Thanks in advance,
