I decided it was finally time to buy the ROM/disk upgrade for
my aging 512K Mac (3 years 3 months on the original power supply!)
so I called my local "friendly" Apple dealer (whose name I won't
mention) to arrange for the upgrade.  When the tech called me
back, she claimed that the ROM/disk upgrade was no longer available
from Apple (she mumbled something about not being able to find it on
the price list).

Now, is this true, or is this dealer just trying to "coax" me into
buying a whole new system from them?  Can anyone shed light?  I'd
especially like to have part numbers, prices, whatever, so that when
I write my scathing letter to the main office of the store's chain
(with a copy to Apple too, of course) I can substantiate my claims.
