I believe there is a black and white low res image of the dev team in the original 128k Mac ROM. Don't believe they ever made a 68K? even though it should be 64K. 68K refers to the 68000 series of processors that powered the Macintosh. Look through all the Easter Egg sites you can find, and you may find the way of showing it.

What is a “68” Mac, in contrast to a Mac 128k?
Do you mean a hidden boot screen within the ROM? Quite hard to do when you take into account how rare space is in the 64k ROMs. There are some hidden gems, but these are documented for years, but not really “hidden boot screens”.
What do you mean exactly by OS hacking?

I'm pretty sure the black and white image is int the SE's rom and not the 128's
There is the "stolen from apple" icon, which i'm pretty sure exists in the first rom (and apparently exists in pretty much every macs rom including some of the ppc's)
And not meaning to be rude, but would you mind not typing your posts entirely in capitals, just it implys your shouting your question at us

If you have a classic you can hold cmd-opt-x-o on while powering on to boot up from a ROM disk

Yes, if he has a Classic, he can boot up from the ROM using those key commands. The OP did say he had a "Classic II" in another thread tho'... and I believe the original Classic was the only Mac possessing a bootable ROM.

There are differences between the Macintosh Classic and the Macintosh Classic II,
I remember the Motorola processor type, for example.
One uses the 68000, the other uses the 68030.
