Look at your 1 meg chips -- if the last 2 #'s are <= 12, you're fine (says her). She also said that 120 ns chips would be fine for future 68030-based machines running at 33MHz (again, says her). Keep in mind that these are the same people who told me that A/UX can't run on the SE/30 cause the SE/30 can't support a 80 meg drive. >I would hustle out and get a 1 meg SIMM but this SE/30 business has me Also, you would have to hustle out and get 4 256K SIMMs or 4 1 meg SIMMs!
