	I did the Dr. Dobbs upgrade to my 128K Mac a couple of years back
when the article was first published in DDJ. The upgrade has worked fine
wiht NO problems since. About 7 months ago I had the 128K ROMS and 800K
drive upgrade done to my DDJ upgraded Mac and have had ZERO problems with
that also. I havn't experienced ANY compatability problems that do not also
occur on a Mac+ running non-HFS compatable software.
	It has been my experience that many Apple dealers will tend to spout
off blatantly incorrect facts and information for various reasons including
ignorance and the tendency to pass along unsubstantiated rumors beacuse they
are unwilling to find out the TRUE facts.
	This thread started because someone said their dealer told them that
the Rev C 128K roms were "incompatable" with most third party upgrades. I 
would have pushed this dealer a little further and asked him in WHAT WAY 
the third party upgrades were incompatable, where the dealer got this info etc..
Perhaps the dealer simply wanted to unload some earlier REV 128K ROMS!!
I personally don't believe this accusation. My DDJ upgrade has worked fine
with my 128K roms for quite some time.
	Don't accuse someone of "SUCKING" unless your sure they are really
the source of the SUCTION!!!
	FINISHED FLAMING!!
