Actually, that -is- said in an implied fashion: "Installation of these upgrades will provide customers with the virtual memory capability of System 7. In addition, the IIci and IIfx upgrades will provide customers with 32-bit addressing." So, the SE/30 upgrade will give you virtual memory, but not the 32-bit Clean ROMs needed for 32-bit addressing. --- Jim Gaynor - AgVAX System Manager - Academic Computing - Ohio State University VMS: UNIX: Disclaimer : All opinions expressed here are mine and only mine.
