Sort of, they contain the 'Toolkit' which make the Mac tick..

I haven't got the numbers handy, but note: there are 64Kbyte and 128kbyte 
versions. You need the 128K versions for Spectre 3.0. The Spectre manual states
the Apple part numbers.

>-anythin else I should know ???
If all else fails: I have seen Spectre's using EPROM copies. This is illegal
of course!!! But I guess we haven't seen the end of this piracy, because Apple
is becoming more and more fussy on their ROM sets.

Hope this helps.
