I've waited to answer this until I was certain.
The answer is, all boards shipped after today will be compatible with the
MMU. All boards acquired previously will be retrofitted at no additional
cost.
This just goes to show how good their support is. They also provide a FOUR
YEAR WARRANTY.
I don't want people to think that things are perfect, though. Virtual will
now work with the board, but A/UX will NOT. No idea if it ever will. I feel
certain though that when System 7.0 comes along, it will be supported.
So unless you plan to run A/UX, it's a steal at $299, and even better when
you buy mail-order. I'm still glad I got it, and I've had one since a few
days before release. It's a very fine piece of work.
