I don't know of any computer company that *will* warranty their machine after you've taken a knife to their boards. Pre-Mac SE and MacII upgrades are either clip-ons (i.e. the Hyperdrive) or board modifications. Apple began endorsing a limited # of clip-on mods almost immediately after Steve Jobs left (with, of course, the Hyperdrive being the #1 endorsed add on). If your upgrade was a solder trace cut job, you are probably out of luck; if it involved only a clip-on, pressure your dealer to check with Apple. -- Rick Keir -- one floor up from the Oyster Tank -- UWisc - Madison {allegra, ihnp4, seismo}!uwvax!uwmacc!rick
