- I have Q700 20MB RAM with 2MB VRAM & 16" Apple.
- I have no problem with System 7.1

- I think you get into the bug of system 7.1
- When you install the System 7.1 for Quadra, do not use "easy install"
- You need to choose "Customize" and slect "Install for All Macintosh" or
- something like that.
