 Although Mac plus ROM is not as easy to find as last year, If one post a wanted
 message in comp.sys.mac.wanted still possible to find a set for about $100 to
 $150.(There is a set going now for bid >$90 in there) The only thing is get the
 ROM first then buy the Spectre.
 As system 7 goes, even a lot of Mac add on accerlator has trouble with it, one
of the Mac developer that I know has a SE with 030 board crash with system 7.
 plus without 030 or PMMU, there is not much advantage to jump except probably
 the true type font. And to run true type font does not require system 7, the
6.0.7 can handle true type font,only need to get the true type font init from
the ftp.apple.com located in a file call personal-laserwriter-tool.sit ( the 
actural name might be silcely off, it's the new laser writer Apple introduced
eariler) and get the true type fonts from the same place in the other file call
true-type-font****.sit.hqx
 Under GCR, you don't need the superdrive to import PC(or STE)files. Run the
apple file exchange from the Mac mode then insert the PC disk. The directory of
 the PC disk will show up in the file exchange dialog box and ready for you to
transfer to Mac or vise versa.( Better then Mac SE).
