The explanation I've seen is that 4M was the biggest [commonly?]
available when the SE/30 was in production. But I've seen a lot of
references in NG archives to SE/30s running 128M. I'll tell you in a
week or 2 if 80M works.
FWIW, even a full set of 4M SIMMs (32M) requires the MacOS Mode32
extension on the SE/30. Its ROM is "not quite" 32-bit clean. LowEndMac
notes that there are claims that a IIsi ROM chip fixes the 32-bit clean
issue, but those are very rare.
