Is there a newer version? Perhaps that's because the II, the IIx, the IIcx and the SE 30 all use the same version of the rom, 0x178. The "version" of the ROM is revved much less frequently than one might assume. If you need to know what machine you're running on see the SysEnvirons call. Opinions: MINE, ALL MINE!
