While we are talking about system 7.0 and memory, does anyone know
that if you have a Mac Plus or SE with 4 meg RAM and have some
miracle 68030 upgrade that WILL allow you to use virtual memory
will you be able to access even more memory (virtual) after
the first 4 Meg of physical memory.  That is I know you can have
only 4 Meg physical memory, max.  But will VM allow Plus and SE owners
to exceed this?
