Apparently, you have a true Mac Plus, keyboard and all.  Don't try
using any other keyboards as they have hardwired the keyboard driver
into the system file.

Also, don't try using any System except the one they give you (that's
about 3.2, isn't it).  Their SCSI driver is hardwired into that as
well and changing Systems means your drive dies.  You cannot use the
new System until Rodime decides to give you one.

On the whole, I liked my Rodime when I got it from MC also.  However,
the System inflexibilities were too much and I returned it.  I'm very
happy with my Jasmine 20.  As soon as I figure out what all the crap
does that came on it....
