As stated, examining a ROM dump would be the way to go about it. More likely what is in the II-series ROM are just the digitized pictures of the people who worked on it; a glorified version of the "SE/30 Hall of Fame." Someone mentioned about the Classic's ROM disk not being so useful. That's actually not entirely true, because it has AppleTalk, and can thus mount networked volumes. There's also a hidden folder on the ROM disk, and each sub-folder has names of the people who worked on the Classic. If you do Get Info on any of the ROM Disk's files or folders, the location is listed as "Hiding inside this machine" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
