IIcx - IIfx ROM for 32bit Cleanliness?

[Trash80toHP_Mini]

I don't remember seeing anything about applying this common SE/30 memory trick to the IIcx. Google came up with squat, so has anyone tried this or installing OS8 afterward?

There's a jumper on the MoBo betwixt ROMs and ROM SIMM and I was going to pull it off to see if that might convince the IIcx to do absolutely nothing. The IIcx just up and decided it needed new caps so now I can't even test that, which renders these questions moot ATM . . .

. . . but the curiosity is killing me! :

Although my IIci is already clean 32-bit, I still put a DougG3 ROM in it with a copy of the IIci ROM on it.  You just jumper it and it uses the SIMM instead of the onboard ROM.  You can do the same with the IIcx if you have a clean 32-bit ROM.  Just put the SIMM in and apply the jumper, you're ready to go.

Edit:  Well, DougG3 also loaded in-ROM the DayStar 040 drivers on my SIMM.  Turns out my DayStar didn't like using the SIMM versus the onboard ROM, but he fixed it for me.

Possibly.  I've never actually used the programmer thingy.  I'll see if I can figure it out and send you a copy.
