It seems to me that the easiest way out for Apple would be to make a deal
with Connectix to sell MODE32 as an Apple product. Though I would prefer a
ROM upgrade for my cx, I think this is a reasonable compromise, as this
would ensure that Apple had a stake in keeping MODE32 compatible.
I would rather Apple spent the money it would cost to engineer new ROMs
on developing new stuff, if there is an alternative solution.
