Hi Marcello,

read your own post!

the fact was 128kb and VM! not RAM!

All Macs up to the Mac SE included have an 68000 and no MMU. So they can't do VM. Period. (Unless you fall for Apple's marketing blubber and call 'VM' that ridiculous double-indirection-thru-pointer-in-software thingie they had that was 10x worse than Intel's segmented architecture.) But you (or somebody acting as you) said:

Just booted the SE up. Guess whast? 8 MB of installed RAM.

Boy! You should send them *yours* for the Apple Museum! *They* only managed to build SE's with a max. of 4 MB RAM. See the spec sheet: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP191 -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
