Someone was talking about an upgrade to a 68040 (3xx->4xx, right?)
that seemed to match my hardware.
Remember the discrepancy between the ROM information and the case
appearance when we first discussed the SYS_INST not running at
all (turned out to be pilot error on my part)?
I'm sure I have a working video card, but have an '040. Anyway, it
smacks of "upgrade"... 8-(.
