Summary: Provocative message from the Upgraded //cs


If you press control-reset on a //c with the new ROM, to get to ROM 
BASIC, then type PR#7<ret>, you get a message "Appletalk Offline".

This is sort of interesting, because, of course, PR#7 normally means
"Boot from the device found in slot 7".  Disregarding the fact that the
//c has no slots whatsoever, it indicates that the guys who put the
new ROM together were thinking of AppleTalk.

Incidentally, if you do this on a //c with the OLD ROM, the machine
will boot from the external drive instead of the internal drive-
can come in handy if your internal drive dies one day.

Anyone know what the message means?
