If that's how much your dealer wants, find a new dealer (you needn't get ripped off). Even us technoklutzes can install the enhancement ourselves, it's just pulling and replacing a few chips (a chip puller kit is only $3 or $4 at Radio Shack). 2) Send mail for info-apple to: info-apple@brl.mil ===> NOT <=== INFO-APP AT NDSUVM1 (most subscribers will never see mail sent to that address) [The Far Side shall return (I hope)] Murph Sewall Sewall@UCONNVM.BITNET Business School sewall%uconnvm.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu [INTERNET] U of Connecticut {rutgers psuvax1 ucbvax & in Europe - mcvax} !UCONNVM.BITNET!SEWALL [UUCP] -+- My employer isn't responsible for my mistakes AND vice-versa!

I think that the enhancement kit only costs $70 from Apple dealers. At least thats what I had to pay. If you are considering getting your //e enhanced, here's a little something you might want to keep in mind: After having mine done, my printer was essentially useless. Garbage text would get printed for every 5 or 6 lines of what should get printed. Apparently, the printer interface that I was using (1982 model) was incompatible with the new ROMS. When I told my friendly Apple dealer about this and asked about a refund on the enhancement, he was not very encouraging. Kind of like once those chips are in place, there's no turning back. So I ended up buying another printer interface card! You might want to have your dealer make sure that everything in your setup will be compatible before the sale is final.... || Erwin Schroedinger gained inspriation Duane Wessels || from a belly dancer's navel vibration. || Surely here was an article Bitnet: 22149853@WSUVM1 || Which was both wave and particle || And which modelled his famous equation! || - Lewis Elton
