Is this implication correct: if I shell out the $150ish (I think) for
the ROM upgrade, I can a) use the Dove accelerator and b) also use
4MB SIMMs in my Mac II? Hadn't heard the one about 4M SIMMs --- that
makes the ROM upgrade a lot more reasonable. Of course, I'd still like
to do the fx upgrade one day :-).
