I missed the original posting, but why should I have to pay a third-party 
company, such as Connectix) to kludge something that Apple should fix for 
free?  I am really irked that Apple would put a PMMU into my SE/30 with 
these provisional ROM's that plug in to the mother board, and not fix the 
ROM's and distribute it to those of us who have most of the hardware 
necessary to run virtual memory. 

I heard that there was an open letter to Apple in MacWeek on the subject. 
I would like to get an email address of someone or group of executives at 
Apple who are in a position to fix this. Maybe us lowly SE/30 and IIcx 
owners who want full virtual memory could send a few polite but pointed 
missives in their direction.
