Has anyone heard anything about double density floppys, Apple
offering a hard disk or similar mass storage improvements for
the Mac?
Does the Fat Mac have any firmware or hardware changes over the
128K Mac?
More data please. Thanks,

There are rumors going around about double sided, double drive
disk systems (giving you three disk drives). No rumors I have
heard about when. ("They" say Apple has thousands and is waiting
until they have > 100,000 before releasing them).

No rumor: the Fatmac upgrade consists of chip and resistor/capacitor
changes. No change to the ROM.
Rumor: expect a change to the ROM in a few months. It will be
128K and contain the Finder.
