I was beginning the recapping process on a recently received LC when I noticed printed labels on the LC's ROM chips. In addition, when I initially received the machine, I was struck by some sort of red reset button inside the case, but assumed I wasn't familiar with the LC internals. I did some searching, but found very few mentions of this on the internet, with one user here at 68kMLA mentioning owning one and a Lowendmac article on on older prototype, named "Elsie".
The top ROM (LL) is labeled:
341-0392-LL
1.0GM 10/11/90
Apple
Confidential
(c) Apple 1983-90
The other ROMs simply have the ROM number and (c) Apple 1983-90 in a printed on label.
I assume given the "1.0GM" on the top ROM means this was a very late pre-production machine, likely right before release. Once I finish recapping it I'll turn it on and see if there is anything else unusual about it.
