The same thing that happend when you call color quickdraw routines on a Mac II or IIx with a monochrome monitor. You won't be able to see color, simple as thet. Remember that the system knows the screen depth of the monitors connected to it, and will display accordingly. 2. The RAM banks in the SE/30 are 4 SIMMs, like the II and IIx, so you need to make changes of 4 SIMMs at once. Each bank must be of the same density SIMMs. If you only have 2 1M SIMMs, I believe you will need 2 more to use them, giving you a 5 meg SE/30. (This answer is assuming that the SE/30 RAM situation is the same as a Mac II, as I have bee told. A new Tech Note explains the SE/30 RAM situation, but I have not yet received it.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- James L.
