I have SE/30 with 5/80 memory. Do I need to reformat my drive in order to
use system 7? Can I just install system 7 in my 80meg drive without
reformatting my drive?
Thanks in advance
Al in Berkeley

If you want to use VM, and you have an Apple drive, update the drivers using the HDSC Setup which ships with System 7.0. If you don't update the drivers, then you can't run VM. Everything else works fine. You can just install system 7 in your 80meg drive without reformatting the drive. --Brian Bechtel blob@apple.com "My opinion, not Apple's"

I found that on my 160 (Apple), it made a performance difference. Also, be sure to update the driver, which is necessary for VM and other things. BTW, partition your drive with the apple utility, delete the partition, and click the grey area. Type in the number it calls "Max", and you will have a larger disk area.
