According to a local Apple tech support person, the portable has the SE ROMs (no color quickdraw, etc.) This makes some sense, because the portable uses the 68000 processor. The machine seems faster than as SE. Also very good screen, with 640x480 display. And the slots (it has 4) are acc3essible without tools or a lot of idsassembly work. Nice looking eachine. -- Bill Douglass, TCADA "I dreamed I was to take a test, in a Dairy Queen, on another planet." L. Anderson
