- Absolutely!, You'll want RAM however. I have an SE/30 currently running
- 7.0 - works great. You'll need MODE32 from Connectix to get a fix for
- the dirty ROMs on the SE/30 if you want to run in 32 bit mode. On the
- other machines, you won't be able to run virtual memory that is in system
- 7 - although Connectix has a product to provide virtual memory that may work
- for these machines - I'm not sure on this one. MODE32 is available free on
- line via an arrangement with Apple...Also, 7.1 is out now, but MODE32 only
- works if virtual memory is not used. Apple is going to have a 32 bit
- enabler out for the SE/30 and other "dirty ROM" machines that works with
- 7.1...

- Good Luck,
