I was an original MAC 128K owner who finally got around to upgrading to a 512
motherboard through my University computer support service. I kept on meaning
to upgrade to the 128 ROM with 800K drive (approx. $231 through the University
program) but was lulled into complacency by our rep who assured me that this
upgrade kit would be available. Much to my chagrin, the day I walked in to
finally upgrade I learned the kit had been discontinued. It was upgrade to a
MAC+ or nothing. Needless to say, I was not happy to hear this news.
Apparently Apple, in its infinite wisdom had decided that everyone had to
upgrade to 1 meg or it was just too bad. Forget the fact that it was 3x more
money. I already have a MAC+, but my wife uses our 512. I would like her to
have the
ROM and drive upgrade for speed and storage reasons, but she really doesn't need1 meg. Is there anyway to accomplish this at a reasonable price? Would it havereally been so difficult for Apple to keep thinking about their early MAC users?
