     Without the new MAC IIx rom upgrade kit installed in the Mac II, the PMMU
in the Dove '030 will not be recognized. I got burned by this -- the salesman 
swore to me that it worked with A/UX, and AFTER i bought it, I found out that I needed the rom/Superdrive upgrade to actually get it to work !
