	I should also mention my ROM 01 has the empty solder pads (which 
incidentally is sitting in a closet at the moment) but my brother's ROM 01
has connectors, and it has a _higher_ serial number on bottom. Both were
bought second-hand though, so it's possible the previous owners did mother-
board swaps. My original ROM 01 bought exactly seven years ago (new) came
with the empty solder pads, though when I had the motherboard replaced Apple
used boards with the connectors in place.

	What's the point? The //e keyboard isn't used and neither is the
powersupply, unless you go to the trouble of changing the pin-connector or
buying a GS powersupply. If your just going to put a ROM 3 motherboard in
a "box", it might as well be an IBM/Mac towercase! :-)
