Actually, at the time, Apple *did* offer a ROM upgrade. However...you have to remember. This was *before* USB, essentially. The standard existed, but until the introduction of the iMac it was a minor interface, doomed to disuse and obscurity. A few USB peripherals existed (after all, USB ports had been standard on PC's for at least a year or two by the time of the iMac introduction, even if enabling them on most PC's meant you had to disable the Sound card :-/ ) but they weren't very widespread.
