Can anyone else confirm this? I tried Virtual.30 ( for 030 based
machines) on my SE/30 with 2M memory and DataFrame drive for hours.
Booting seems fine and you have 8M from the 'about finder'.
However, the most obvious problem is the system will crash whenever
there is a floppy eject event, either by dragging to trash can or
cmd-shift-1. Not sure this is related to system6.0.3.
As for compatibility of various applications, so far I've found
Allegro Common Lisp, Digitalk's Smalltalk, and Hypercard not
compatible with the combination of SE/30, Virtual, and DataFrame.
