Then it was supposed to be for localtalk support,       but that never materialized so it became either the mouse or the memory       expansion card support.               Apple moved the ROM code around on the //c very freely since they didn't have       to worry about an expansion card compatability.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
