There are rumors going around about double sided, double drive disk systems (giving you three disk drives). No rumors I have heard about when. ("They" say Apple has thousands and is waiting until they have > 100,000 before releasing them). > Does the Fat Mac have any firmware or hardware changes over the > 128K Mac? No rumor: the Fatmac upgrade consists of chip and resistor/capacitor changes. No change to the ROM. Rumor: expect a change to the ROM in a few months. It will be 128K and contain the Finder. -- Michael Ward, NCAR/SCD UUCP: {hplabs,nbires,brl-bmd,seismo,menlo70,stcvax}!hao!ward ARPA: hplabs!hao!ward@Berkeley BELL: 303-497-1252 USPS: POB 3000, Boulder, CO 80307
