On a related note, does anyone know if the 68000 can address more than 4 Megs of RAM (ie. is the present 4 Meg limit with Pluses and SE's a 68000 limit or just the way Apple designed those systems)? With 7.0 requiring a minimum of 2 Megs of RAM, I'm wondering whether Apple might design their newer machines to be able to handle more than 4 Megs, since 4 Meg under 7.0 may not leave a lot of extra memory for MultiFinder applications.
