ok...here's an odd one.  And it doesn't have ANYTHING to do with
System 7.0.  Our office just purchased a couple of SE/30's, one with 5
megs of ram, and one with 2.  They both came installed with 6.0.7.

The machines replaced an SE and another SE/30 that had a bum hd.
(they'll be handed down to some lucky student staffers...wheee)

ANYWAYS...i was trying to convince my boss that Suitcase WAS a
very necessary thing to have, but when i threw Suitcase 1.2.8 into his
System Folder, with his assortment of Quickmail, TOPS, and other
miscellaneous inits, it didn't even blink when i restarted...

no icon, no da, no nothing...

so i did the usual, remove all the inits/cdevs except suitcase
routine, but alas, still no luck...

then i upgraded to 1.2.10 and still the same problem.

i renamed it _(space)Suitcase, so that it would load first.  Still
nothing...

not even Sam Intercept was installed...

any ideas what the heck is going on?  Works on another SE/30 fine...
worse yet, works on the students' plus...

maybe a tip from the author?  :}
