Apple is suing a memory-upgrade company which was replacing Apple ROMs with slightly modified copies so that the system would recognize the full memory size at startup. Better stick to the companies that use external kluges to fool the ROMs. (In the Boston area, try MassTech Development Labs or New England Labs. MassTech is producing a "clip-on" memory upgrade so that your original board is unmodified. New England Labs is more conventional, might be slightly cheaper.) Also, there's a box titled "Steven Jobs To Second-Source Mac?" Rumor has it that Apple might license enough technology for former insiders Jobs and Mike Murray (former Mac Marketing manager) to produce their own Mac clones. Apparently the idea is to increase market acceptance by increasing the choice in Mac-compatible machines. -- Ephraim Vishniac [apollo, bbncca, cadmus, decvax, harvard, linus, masscomp]!wanginst!vishniac vishniac%Wang-Inst@Csnet-Relay
