I just had my Mac II upgraded to a Mac IIx today, and have a couple of
weird things I wanted to ask about.  Information and advice
appreciated.  Please mail to my e-mail address listed below.

I have a Mac II(x) with Apple color monitor, color memory upgrade for
256 colors, and 8mb memory.

With the II, I could boot the machine, and the "Welcome to Macintosh"
window would appear on my color background screen.  The little Mac
picture in the left of the Welcome screen would be in color, and the
INIT icons would appear on the same screen.

Now, the Welcome screen in in black-and-white, then the screen is
cleared and the INIT icons appear on a blank screen with my background
initialized.

Why the change?  Is this just cosmetic (new ROMs?), or the signal of
something more serious?

Also, I can't find a piece of software to actually tell me that it's a
IIx with 68882.  MacEnvy and MacSpeed both are confused.  Are they
just outdated, or might this too be the sign of a problem?

Finally, I'm running system 6.0.2.  Should I upgrade to 6.0.3?

Most of these questions should have been answered my my vendor
(bookstore at Stanford), but the person I dealt with there didn't know
these answers...
