==> TO: Everyone who is considering a RAM/Hyperdrive upgrade
==> 
==> 	I've just heard some disturbing information from a
==> usually reliable source.  As many of you may know, Apple is
==> coming out with a ROM upgrade (128K) this year (probably in
==> September) to fix bugs, accomodate the double-sided disk drives,
==> etc.  Well, according to my source, Apple is instructing its
==> dealers *not* to perform the upgrade on any Macintosh that has
==> been modified in any way.  In other words, if you have done
==> anything to your Mac (RAM upgrade, Hyperdrive, etc.) other than
==> buy the official (and incredibly overpriced) Apple 512K upgrade,
==> your dealer may not upgrade your ROM for you.  I have not yet
==> been able to get a confirm/deny/no comment out of Apple; I'll
==> keep you posted on what I find.
==> 
==> 
==> Additional information and commentary is, as always, welcome.

	Ouch.  Say it ain't so.
