It is an actual Classic (says so on the front, and the date matches as manufacturer September 1990). I've tried to boot to the ROM using two different keyboards. When exactly are you supposed to press it? I've tried it flipping the switch with one hand on the X and the O, and my foot on Command and Option, and I still get the little floppy with the question mark. -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
