  Actually, from my experience with 7.0a9, very, very little is incompatible
with virtual memory.  The only things which seem to cause trouble are
certain types of DMA NuBus cards, some driver INITs which install stuff above 
BufPtr rather than in the system heap, and some types of software which do
screwy things at interrupt time.  I have had no difficulty whatsoever with
System 7's VM.

  Now the 32-bit memory manager is another story entirely...
