I don't think we're going to get any more definitive answer than what we've got; System 3.2 is the only system guaranteed to work on a 512E. I guess the logic is as follows: An Apple 512E has 512K of memory; it therefore can't run newer software. A 512E with >512K of memory has a 3rd party something in it, so Apple forswears all responsibility for it; in their eyes, it just does not exist. That's the price we pay for not wanting to give Apple as many of our hard earned $ as it wanted. ---- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: dorner@uxc.cso.uiuc.edu UUCP: {convex,uunet}!uiucuxc!dorner IfUMust: (217) 333-3339
