        What upgrades?  The only upgrade that Apple's done is the ROM
upgrade, from ROM 00 to ROM 01, which also, in some cases, involved replacing
the Video Graphics Controller chip on the motherboard.

        BTW, a ROM 01 has 256k on the motherboard, not 512k.  You can,
however, expand it up to 8 MB with a Sequential Systems (formerly CV
Technologies) memory card.
