My Mac Portable doesn't have Color QuickDraw in ROM, but It will run on it,
providing I boost it up to the full 9 mess RAM. It begins to load, but then
gives a "not enough RAM" error.

Actually the SE/30 does have Color Quickdraw in ROM. All Macs that Apple
shipped with 68020, 68030, and 68040 processors (and their variants) have
Color Quickdraw in ROM. The later ones even have 32-bit Quickdraw.
This is true irrespective of whether the Mac has a B&W display built in.
For instance, on the SE/30 it is possible to install a color display
adapter
in the PDS, and it works fine and in full color without
needing any
special software installed.
