Can anyone tell me if the same version of Virtual 2.0 runs on both a IIci and the SE/30. Or are there different versions for different machines? We have a ci which right now has 1 meg of memory, but which will be be fully simmed sometime after the first of the year. At that point, I'd like to swap the program over to my SE/30. But is it the same program for both machines?

It sounded to me like they hadn't quite gotten it ready for release (the notes from the 2.0 upgrade mention this). So, it looks like you're out of luck. I am extremely happy with the 2.0 upgrade. Seems very solid, and I like the new options to set the size and location of the swap file. 2.0 fixes a bug I found in 1.05 on my Mac II where it screwed up my keyboard - made applications (and MacEnvy) think that I had a standard keyboard when I had the Saratoga... Even though RAM prices have fallen, Virtual is still pretty cost-effective. $125 for the IIx/IIcx/SE/30 version, and $195 for the II version (with PMMU!) from MacConnection... Robert

The problem is that the on-board video makes memory-mapping very screwy. THey hope to have a version soon (Scott said I might get a beta as early as next week) but they wont promise anything.

The '030 version is the same for all '030 machines. Therefore, the only thing you need to be concerned about is the fact that Virtual does not currently run on the IIci. Period. This is the top priority at Connectix right now, and you should expect a working version within a few days, but any copy you were to buy right now would not work on your IIci. As for switching it over to the SE/30 after you add memory to the IIci, why not leave it on the IIci and have 14 megs of memory rather than 8, the maximum you can get from SIMMs? -- Mark H.
