Precious. Forgive my sillyness, but I love this typo, and Dr.Freud
would have, too. An amnufacturer is a manufacturer that fell victim to
the amnesia of his customers, hence to a regrettable loss of existance.
(A tribute to the Douglas-Adams-fans out there!)
Sorry, Allen, if I was too wordy to be clear in my post. I only meant
to say there was a lack of upgradability in the ROM-boot feature
(inevitably so, as it was ROM), not in the hardware, but the more
technologically educated than me surely could say if there had been a
possibility to develop this further. With things like flash booting and
firmware upgrades going round today, it is hard to fancy for a simple
user like me what options Apple really had fifteen years ago. Does
anybody here have first-hand information on why Apple dropped the
ROM-boot feature in the Classic II - a machine that would deserve the
"Road Apple" designation at least as much as the Classic, if not more,
IMHO? I find it hard to believe it was only for the cost of memory
after they had included it in the Classic. It dropped in the same way,
I'd speculate, as the size of the System folder grew as time passed.
Curious, OM
