Does this have to do with the VM? I don't have anywhere close to enough room
on my disk to take advantage of that right now. Or are you saying that
the limitation on RAM that can be plugged in is not because there is no room,
but because more RAM is just not addressable due to the dirty ROMS? If it is
because of VM problems, that is not relevant to me right now because I'd
have to buy a much larger disk anyway. VM alos tends to be pretty slow. Please
excuse my ignorance on System 7... I haven't had time look really look into it
yet.

By the way, the academic price hasn't come down on these upgrades! the price
at CMU is *WAY* above the new commercial price announced. What's the story here?

Oh yeah... I forgot who said it, but he noted I misattributed a quote to him.
Sorry about that.
