So, it isn't just me then.  My IIc has the old white case, but it appears,
from peeks and stuff, that it is a ROM 03, or at least a unidisk IIc. 
Another thing in that article is that it says a ROM 3 will print
"AppleTalk inactive" or some other stuff when you PR#7.  Well this doesn't
work, I guess because the mouse in slot seven, and they moved it to slot 4
later I've heard to put an appletalk network in 7.  Hey, maybe my IIc had
the upgrade before.  I'm not sure, 'cause I bought it used from a dead
guys estate sale.  Maybe I'll open her up and take a look.
