The ROM upgrade can only be had with the double-sided disk upgrade.
The list price is $299 but I've found a dealer willing to sell it for
$240 in quantity 25. If you buy the Mac+ logic board you must buy the
ROM and DS drive as well. The dealer installs the ROM into your
current 512K board (it will not work with a 128K board). Apple's policy
is to sell this upgrade to all 512K owners whether they have a stock
512K or a third party upgrade. All they want is that you turn in a stock
single-sided drive and stock Apple ROMs. If for some reason you no
longer have the stock ROMs, you've got a problem.
