Virtual, the virtual memory software from Connectix, is now available in a separate version for the Macintosh IIx. Since no additional hardware is needed, the software alone lists for $295. The reason Virtual didn't work with the IIx in the past is that the author used some of the PMMU calls available on the 68851 Paged Memory Management Unit that are NOT implemented in the PMMU that's part of the 68030 chip. The new version has just finished final testing and Connectix is all set to sell you a copy! Anyone who has questions about Virtual, for the IIx or the II, should feel free to contact me. If I don't know the answer, I'll be happy to call Jon Garber (the author) and find out. Connectix can be reached at 415-324-0727. I am not connected with Connectix except that I am an EXTREMELY happy customer. I LOVE having 8 megs of RAM to run MultiFinder in! :-) -- Mark H.

If Virtual works on the IIx then will it work on a II with the Dove Marathon 030 chip? Or do you need the IIx ROMs?

Question arises: If Virtual works on the IIx now, will it also* work on the
SE/30? With one on the way, this just could be something to look at.....

I think it should be no problem, but I think a lot of people want to know for sure...

As I understand it, there are two major accelerators that work fine with Virtual, and a couple of others that don't in varying degrees. I would suggest that you contact Connectix directly to ask about your specific board. They can be reached at 415-324-0727.
