OK, this is a dumb question, but hey, I've never even seen a 512
before today. One of my users has two 512's. How can I tell if it's
enhanced or not?
Many thanks,
Daniel

Putting a 800K disk into a 512 is not a definitive way to tell if it has 128K ROMs. There are a few people who have upgraded ROMs without changing the internal drive to 800K. After all, as usual Apple was charging much more than third party businesses for upgrades, and the 3rd parties offered the upgrades a la carte. Attach an external 800K drive, and try a 800K disk. If it works, either: it has 128K Roms it has the file Hard Disk 20 in the boot 400K floppy. -- Dan Dlugose Internet: dlugose@uncecs.edu UNC Educational Computing Service Box 12035, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709-2035

To identify an unenhanced 512K Mac, boot the machine. If the "Welcome to Macintosh" box has a drop shadow, it has the 64K ROM's. -- John Bruner Center for Supercomputing R&D, University of Illinois bruner@csrd.uiuc.edu (217) 244-4476
