	Apple went to the extra expense of designing in a ROM expansion slot into
every IIcx. When the IIcx came out, they sold this slot as a way to upgrade to
future ROM expansions and upgrades.   If Apple goes to the trouble and extra
cost of putting in an expansion connector, WHY DON'T THEY LET US USE IT?
