I've been reading with keen interest the discussion of 32 bit clean
ROMs in MacIIx,IIcx, etc machines.  What I haven't been able to glean
is whether the original MacII (my machine) is definately gonna be
left out.  Will MacII owners be able to install the 32 bit ROMs if
they become available?  I really don't have any need for 128 Meg
of RAM, if that's the only issue involved here. But, I am anxious
that with "dirty" ROMs running system 7 there will be more system
 crashes than with the clean ones.  Is this paranoia?

I have the PMMU chip to install in the MAcII when the time comes, and
I've got 8 meg of RAM.  Have I got a rotten apple? 

thanks
