The upgrade kit was still available in the dealer catalog for a short time after the ROM 01 began shipping. Even before it was discontinued, the upgrade boards were being used on the assembly line and as Apple service stock.

No idea on how many were made but I've seen estimates of around 5K for kits but that's lore -- I've never seen anything official. There were far more upgrade boards in the channel though, by the thousands.
