Message-ID: <1991Feb28.064524.19071@bronze.ucs.indiana.edu> Date: 28 Feb 91 06:45:17 GMT Sender: Organization: Indiana University Lines: 21 X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.3 PL11] I heard a rumor recently, and wondered if anyone on the net could confirm or deny it: The rumor is that once System 7 is released, there will be provisions made to outfit older Macs with 32-bit clean ROMs. If this IS the case, 1 - Will it go all the way back to MacPlusses, 2 - Will owners of accelerators, etc. on Plusses be affected, 3 - Will this remove the MacOS 4Meg maximum memory limitation? Thanks for whatever information any of you can provide... Jeff -- "Swing is a feeling... Everything else is just style." --Capt. Swing jkain@bronze.ucs.indiana.edu
