As far as I understand, the newer SE's have 2 banks of memory, each
supporting 4 identical-capacity SIMMs.  The 2 meg configuration
therefore comes with 8 256K SIMMS, so to upgrade, you would need to
add 4 1 meg SIMMs (and have to sell/give away 4 256K SIMMs).  This is
confirmed by apple's Product Details sheet, "The Macintosh SE/30 Hard
Disk 40 CPU with 2 megabytes of RAM can be upgraded to 5 megabytes
[4*1+4*256K] with two 2-megabyte Memory Exansion kits, or 8 megabytes
of RAM with four 2-megabyte Memory Expansion Kits."  The 4 megabyte
Mac SE/30 must be equipped with 4 1 meg SIMMs.  Rumor has it that
memory prices will be *very* low by summer......

Also, does anybody know the status of A/UX on the SE/30?  I spoke with
someone at Apple who told me that A/UX would not be officially
supported for the SE/30 as "the SE/30 can't support an A/UX drive.."
What was she talking about?  She said that the A/UX could only support
small drives.  I think it's nonsense!

And... has anybody out there had experience with Microtech hard
drives?  They have a five-year parts and labor warranty and their
prices are quite competitive (as are the specs. of their drives).  Any
horror stories before I jump in?

Thanks in advance!
