Suddenly, inits like Adobe Type Manager and even the screen hack/saver AfterDark worked perfectly under Multifinder with no compatibility problems whatsoever. I then tried loading A-MaxII without the MMU option, and the system crashed while booting. My guess is that the MMU plays an important role in mapping available memory in one continguous block, the way the Mac expects it. Those of you considering a cpu upgrade should watch out for cheap 68030 accelerators with no MMU - you lose it's important A-MaxII advantage!
