An SE30? Those are nice machines. IIRC, you should be
able to run up
to 7.5.5 on them, and most other older machines. How much RAM do you
have? That's the major factor here. If you have enough RAM and hard
It has 5,120k and Ramdoubler for a total memory of 10,240k. I surmise
that Ramdoubler is some kind of a disk cache thing. Probably, I should
look into putting more memory into it. The HD is small - 30mb - but I
already have plans to increase that by x30.
disk space, you can run 7.5. Just a little on the slow
side :-) But
you should at least go for 7.1. That's the minimum I would run on
anything unless it needs 6.x or something else for some reason. Save
7.5.5 for faster 030's and 040's and old PPC's. I'm spoiled, I'm
running a 600MHz iMac with MacOS 9.1... Of course now I have to buy
USB adaptors for all my old serial port stuff...
OK, upgrade to 7.1 or 7.5 and get a newer version of Stuffit Expander!

Sounds like the way to go. Thanks!
