That's right.  Both the Mac SE and Mac II have a copy of the KCHR resource
in ROM.  To get the system to accept your change you must:

1) Update to System 4.1 or later

2) Add KCHR 0 to the ROv# resource for your machine (630=SE, 376=II)
	(This may already be done for some systems)

3) Reboot

Note that this is a quick and dirty way to get your keyboard to change.
A much cleaner method will be described in a forthcoming technical note.
