Does anyone have any insight on how to get TOPS installed on a IIx
with 32 MB of memory? (Clearpoint has just developed 4 MB SIMMs, and
the machine in question has 8 x 4 MB installed; the Mac operating
system recognizes the full 32 MB but can only use 8 MB). When we
try to install TOPS, the error message is "Can't start Tops; it
appears that there is not enough memory. Try removing other background
code." Seems like a joke when you have 32 MB!!

Any hints would be appreciated.
