Only one problem, I think you missed the real issue. Personnaly I don't care how Apple does it but I want the capabability to address 128M of memory just like the advertising that persuaded me that the IIcx was my best choice promised, and just like the specs in my IIcx manual claim. I don't care what form they do this in but I want what I paid for! They can send me a free copy of MODE 32 and upgrade me for free every time it no longer works with the current OS, they can write their own patch or INIT or extension, they can give me new ROMs, or a new motherboard, I'll even accept a free copy of A/UX. I was promised a complete system that addressed 128M of main memory and I want it. There was no stipulation made that in order to get everything I was told in the specs that I would have to spend an additional $150 or more. So again, thanks to everyone who thinks I'm a crybaby, and for all of your suggestions. But I still want what I purchased nothing more and certainly nothing less!
