.Has anyone tried to take a new ROM out of a Mac+ and put it into a 128K/512K
Mac and attach an external 800K drive to the Mac?

I am wondering if this is possible since I was told that a 512K Mac can undergo
the initial upgrade to the new ROM and a 800K internal drive without requiring
the new logic board. If this is not possible does anyone know WHY??

If this is possible can one just purchase a new ROM??

It seems to me that this would be a fair alternative for the people who have
512K Macs and external 800K drives and would like to upgrade for a minimal
price!!

APPLE's upgrading policy appears to lack genuine and sincere support for its
customers. In reality, APPLE, it has taken two parties to make the Mac the
computer it is today. 

The developer and the PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT THE COMPUTER !!!

Without the customers taking a chance on buying a Mac, future enhancements of
the Mac would not have been possible without the profits.  I wonder if the
original Mac customers would have taken a chance had they known about how APPLE
would handle the upgrade policy and pricing. 

So why does Apple forsake us each time by offering upgrade fees and options that
are unfair??

 Come on APPLE you probably could have also offered just the ROM by itself !!
