Once again this rumor rears its head in Usenet.  The Mac + upgrades are
available to those who have upgraded/hacked/destroyed their motherboards. If
you have a modified board, you can do the motherboard swap for the price of a
128K --> Mac + upgrade (~$799--$200 more than the 512K --> Mac + upgrade).
You can get the ROM/drive for the same price as someone with an unmodified main
board (assuming that the modifications done haven't messed around w/the ROM
sockets or drive).
