Sort of, they contain the 'Toolkit' which make the Mac tick.. >-what are they exactly (numbers etc...) so. what would I ask when going shopping ? >-are there differend versions, if so what's the newest / one for GCR 3.0 ??? I haven't got the numbers handy, but note: there are 64Kbyte and 128kbyte versions. You need the 128K versions for Spectre 3.0. The Spectre manual states the Apple part numbers. >-anythin else I should know ??? If all else fails: I have seen Spectre's using EPROM copies. This is illegal of course!!! But I guess we haven't seen the end of this piracy, because Apple is becoming more and more fussy on their ROM sets. Hope this helps. _ __________________________________________________________________________ | / o / / _ Wilko Bulte Domain: wilko@idca.tds.philips.nl |/|/ / / /( (_) uucp : [mcsun,hp4nl]!philapd!wilko * Philips Information Systems Nederland phone: +31 55-432372 fax: +31 55-432103 "Do, or do not.
