I have a Mac II and would like to put a PMMU in.  I think I have one early
enough that it might require a new motherboard (some early Mac II's don't work
with the PMMU.
 
Question 1:  What ROM versions need the switch?  MacEnvy reports that I have
 
	ROM Version:      256K (Version 120), rev. 1
	ROM C7 Info:      $97851DB6 (old II ROM)
 
Is it clear from this whether I would need the switch or not?
 
Question 2: I believe that Apple is providing a cost-free motherboard switch
for those affected.  How does one go about getting this?  Does one simply take
it to the dealer and they do the work for free?
 
Any info much appreciated!
