Well, the memory control panel doesn't show a setting for 32 bit
mode. That is what puzzles me. I'm running 7.6.1... I just installed the
drive last night, and installed 7.6.1 on it after I made the A/UX
partitions. Might it be that and a combination of swap space? I allocated
about 24 megs of swap.... I have the max of 17MB RAM...
