I have a mac II, but I upgraded the SWIM chip, IIRC. I think I

spare parts bin.
I'm curious about how the chip update appears on the II. Does this
system
now show up as a IIx? My understanding is that the upgrade kit
included
a new set of ROM chips that include the same bits as the ones from
the IIx.
Hopefully there's a logical way to detect this upgrade, but it
would be
interesting to know if the update changes the gestalt ID.
You would detect an upgraded ROM by reading the ROM, I imagine. In
Genie, it's at /sys/mac/rom.
By the way, does anyone know how to calculate a ROM checksum, or will
I have to reverse-engineer CopyROM or somesuch?
