{stuff about Jasmine 80MB and Apple's 80MB drive for Mac II}

I read on a local bulletin board that Apple has installed in their
HD80s a *proprietary* ROM that basically tells the drive software
whether the person was a "good little boy" and bought from Apple
or if he was "bad" and bit the hand that fed him the computer in
his own monetary interest.

Accordingly, the software would perform well or poorly/not at all.


I'd be more than happy to hear the "REAL" story from an Apple Lord.
