One sentence reads, "To access memory greater than 8 >megabytes, special software must be installed. This software is not included I called radius about this; they claimed the "special software" was something like 'Optima' which allows a Mac to create a ram drive. Will system 7 obviate the need for this? Radius sez new software will be sent to rocket owners but still may not work w/ 4MB simms (i.e. >8MB total); they told me it might be best not to place an order for a bank of 4MB simms at the moment as they couldn't guarantee they were going to work w/ System 7 and the rocket system 7 upgrade.
