Subject: Upgrading to ROM 01; Why can't I do it myself?

As some of you remember, I'm stuck with ROM 00 machines at work (original 
WOZ editions) and I would like to upgrade to ROM 01. Well, I called the 
nearest Apple II store, and they said I needed to bring the machine in to 
have it upgraded. When I asked if I could do it myself, he said that my 
machine wouldn't be supported by apple then. (As if it was supported now! 
:*)

What I am wondering is:

	o What does the upgrade consist of? Just changing some ROM chips, 
or what?

	o Why couldn't I do the job myself? I thought that was one of the 
reasons that it has this cover come off easily. (I just upgraded the OS in 
my ST a few months ago, and that required me to take out a lot of screws, 
remove a bunch of shields, and replce the six ROM chips.)

Even though I do cause a lot of turmoil in this group, it doesn't mean I 
don't like the GS, I use one almost daily, except right now all I do is use 
it as a terminal, and type a few papers every now and then.

Thanks............
