On a related note, can anyone tell us if there are any differences
between the Mac IIcx and IIx other than the IIx having 3 more slots
and a 5.25 disk drive space?  Are the chips and CPU board architecture
identical?  Has Apple fixed any bugs in the IIcx... fixes that the IIx
doesn't have?

I'm also told that the IIcx chips are all soldered in as opposed to
the IIx which has it's chips socketed.  SOunds like the IIx is easier
to upgrade particularly if Apple comes out with 32 bit QD ROMS for the
IIx.

Comments?
