(1) The Mac Classic has the programmer's keys (reset, interrupt) built in.
Was it supposed to come with a little plastic "hood" to place over
these keys (like other Macs do)?
(2) The Mac Classic's keyboard has a "power" key on it. Does this key DO
anything, or is it just placed there to make it look like other Macs?
If it does do something, what does it do? does it work with Macsbug,
etc? Does it work with some applications? What?
Just a few questions from a confused Classic user...

Three questions from a new MAC owner who loves his CLASSIC dearly! 1) I received System 6.06 when I bought it (one of the first in the UK - at the education price and no long queues for me 8-) ). It bombs occasionally, with some of my older software, would an upgrade to 6.07 be a good move? 2) Hypercard 2 in its tour stack checks the keyboard type and with my CLASSIC comes up with "?" rather than "Standard ADB Keyboard". Other applications have difficulty as well. Is this fixed in 6.07 or is it a case of "Who was that masked ascii character (sic)" ? 3) The support services people at UMIST are excellent and one bloke has offered to bung some SIMMS into my computer, to take it up to 4 Megs (Surely I'll never need 4 Megs? System 7 ? Oh well...). What SIMMS do I need exactly, and is it true that the warrantee is still valid provided that the upgrade did not cause the problem? advTHANKSance P.S. I've just thought of another question! Would it be possible to plug the mouse directly into the MAC's ADP port (i.e. without the keyboard) for demonstrations which were entirely mouse driven (e.g. for security reasons)?
