  That means that you have a fairly new 512Ke.  AS has been posted on the net
before some of the last 512Ke's actually have th Mac-Plus clock Chip instead
of the old one.  Someone at Apple's factory sat down at thought about why
they should go to the trouble of maintaining 2 completely different IC
components when they are pin for pin compatible, so in some of the last
512Ke's to roll of the Assembly line they were putting the Mac-Plus clock
chips in them.  From talking with people at Apple however the # of 512Ke's
with this "upgrade" is a very low percentage.
