                                                 It is my understanding that
  32 bit clean ROMs (aka IIci, IIfx or IIsi) are required to get more than 
  8 meg real or 14 meg virtual memory. When if ever Apple will do a ROM upgrade
  for the II, IIx, IIcx and SE/30 is another question. My guess is
  they won't and we'll be locked at 14 meg VM until Apple implements
  premptive multitasking


In my SE/30 manual it says that it will be possible to use up to
128Megs!!! of RAM when appropiate SIMMs are available. Well, 4MB
SIMMs are available and at a reasonable price too. If Apple promised
us the opportunity to use more than 8Megs then they have promised
us a ROM-upgrade too.
