Macintosh 512k to 512Ke

[bibilit]

can i ugrade a 512 k with a set of Macintosh Plus Roms ?

Found information somewhere, but unable to locate anymore.

Yes, but unless you change the floppy drive (and its cage) too, I don't see a reason.

Also, 512ks are a lot harder to find than 512kes, I suggest keeping you 512k in its original configuration.

I will like to change the floppy drive indeed.

Any Plus Roms will fit ?

 

[Ferrix97]

I think so, all plus roms should work

The other major advantage is HD20 boot support - which is nice if you have a Floppy Emu.

You can also add Plus ROMs to the 128k, thus creating a 128ke, capable of reading 800k disks. Apparently the HD20 won't work though... Something to do with RAM I think.

A 512Ke can natively use the HD20 without requiring the old HD20 'enabler' disquette.
