I have been hearing that System 7 VM will not work on 030 accelerator
cards added to an SE (but Virtual appears to work). Does anybody know why
this should be the case and will it be correctable in the future (by the
accelerator manufactures modifing their software?). Does System 7 VM expect
the ROMs to be of a particular type (how different are the 256K ROMs in the
SE, II (an 020 + 551 machine) and IIx?

Is anybody running System 7 (with or without VM) on an 030 accelerated
SE? Have you run into any problems?

Inquiring minds want to know :-)

E-mail me or post replies.
