I don't know of any computer company that *will* warranty their machine after
you've taken a knife to their boards. Pre-Mac SE and MacII upgrades are
either clip-ons (i.e. the Hyperdrive) or board modifications. Apple
began endorsing a limited # of clip-on mods almost immediately after
Steve Jobs left (with, of course, the Hyperdrive being the #1 endorsed
add on). If your upgrade was a solder trace cut job, you are probably
out of luck; if it involved only a clip-on, pressure your dealer to check
with Apple.
