You are the one who is also wrong! Mac SE has 256K ROM, as are the II, SE/30,
IIx, IIcx, and the Portable; IIci, IIsi, IIfx have 512K ROM. The Mac 128K,
and the Mac 512K have 64k ROM. The Mac 512Ke, and Plus have 128K rom.

Check it out before you said others are wrong, please.

Right.

Are you sure that's the cause?
