hi,
I have observed this on a MacIIfx which was upgraded from a MacII.
The fx contains ..
3 cards (1 Ethernet, 2 Display cards, all Apple),
right justified, ie away from the power supply.
800k Floppy (Internal).
Hard disk.
4*4Mb Simms.
***PROBLEM***
System takes up > 8Mb (via "About Finder"). What's going on?
No change when switching twixt MultiFinder and Finder.
Cache was off.
This was also the case with the installation disk, which would
be a reduced System (and not using MultiFinder). The same disk
(install) took ~427k System memory space on a IIci.
Is System 6.05 ready for 4Mb Simms?
Is the problem the memory (stuffed)?
Is it hardware?
I saw the same thing happen on the same machine with System 7.0a.
