Yes, I have a 24meg 030 and it runs--it is not snappy mind you--it sort of  
feels like my Mac IIx on program loading. So there is a feeling of drag, but  
not so much that the system is unusable. Course thats just my opinion, you'll  
have to compare it against others. I upgraded to network my Mac II to my NeXT  
and now I have that along with print support from my localTalk LaserWriter NT  
so I'm a happy camper. I'd be happier with an 040 upgrade, but I'll have to  
save a while to budget that puppy in. I've only been running for a couple of  
days so I'll have more of a feel for day to day use as time progresses.
