I am still waiting for Apple to ship me a free A/UX ;-)
If Apple promised me 128MB adressable, then it is in the product as is.
Apple has never claimed that the ROM would cost anything, just that I
could get an upgrade when they had removed the faulty code, and I want
an upgrade under guarantee.

How about all macintosh users under warranty/AppleCare start to request
a repair of their ROM ? There will be no problem supplying them, they
can use the IIsi ROMs.

An alternative solution would be, that Apple bought a few thousand
copies of MODE 32 and shipped it to all the people who complains.
