A dealer friend told me the new System 7s they just got in would not work with
the 128K ROMs.  He said System 7 would only work on an SE and above.  He      
called an Apple support person and that's what he was told.  He looked in the 
manual it it said the same thing: it ony works on an SE and above.  Does      
anyone know if this is incorrect.  Since the maker of A-Max said the next     
A-max will work with System 7, either he's planning a 256K A-Max or the guy   
I know is wrong. Anybody???
