What Apple did promise us can be seen in Apple current product
literature for the Mac IIcx.  "When denser chips become available 
the Macintosh IIcx can be upgraded to 32 megabytes of RAM."

The exact quote is also in the literature for the Mac IIx.

Therefore, Apple's specifications state that the computer 
that they sold us can access more the 8 megs and their
product will not fulfill this guarentee unless they upgrade
their ROMs.
