Although I seem to remember something about the hardware similarities
between the II and the SE/30, I don't remember whether or not it requires
special RAM. According to Newer's RAM page (http://www.newerram.com), the
SE/30 simply requires 120ns or faster RAM, so I guess that means it uses
standard RAM. Feel free to max out your SE/30 with the cheaper chips! ;-)
BTW, having more than 8MB of RAM requires MODE32, even under MacOS.
Later.
