Okay, now that the Mac IIci is the powerhouse of the family, the
question is what about the rest of us?  Apple has announced that 
there will be an upgrade from a IIcx, but what about those
(including myself) who bought the first 030 Mac II, the IIx?

I am hoping that Apple isn't going to strand us without any sort
of improvements.  The capabilities that I would like to see made
available are:

    25 MHz processors
    512K ROM's
    Burst mode capabilities
    Cache card connector

Now I can understand that burst mode and caching may take nothing
less than a completely new logic board to implement, which might 
not be economical.  Also, there are third party processor upgrades.
But, how about at least a ROM upgrade?  After all, I've got these
really neat ROM SIMMs that are supposed to make ROM upgrades a 
snap.  Right?
