Speaking of the system heap, if you have a Mac plus, and have several
SCSI devices, and the total size of the drivers exceeds about 30k or
so, the system will crash.

It works fine on the SE and the II.

There seems to be some confusion within Apple as to how much space is
available in the system heap at boot time.  For example, if you report
the above problem with the Mac plus to MacDTS, they will tell you that
there is plenty of room for 30k of drivers.
