Very interesting...but I bought my 512K Mac three months before the
introduction of the Plus! And have had no problems running 6.0 on it
(it now has 2 megs, 128K ROMs, and a SCSI port, of course). Is it
possible that the newer SCC and clock chip predate the Mac Plus?

Anyone have a chunk of source code to test whether extended PRAM is
present, or is this even possible? Maybe I should search through IM IV...
I shouldn't have the new chips, but since the sound manager works, maybe
the tech who installed my ROM/drive upgrade was feeling benevolent?
