I called radius about this; they claimed the "special software" was something
like 'Optima' which allows a Mac to create a ram drive.

Will system 7 obviate the need for this?  Radius sez  new software will be
sent to rocket owners but still may not work w/ 4MB simms (i.e. >8MB total);
they told me it might be best not to place an order for a bank of 4MB simms
at the moment as they couldn't guarantee they were going to work w/ System 7
and the rocket system 7 upgrade.
