OK quick question for this setup:
Mac IIsi, 5M RAM, Quantum running Silverlining5.31 w/Sys6.0.7 partition and
sys7.0 partition.
I have been using Silverlining 5.27 for about a month, frequently switching
between System 7 and System 6 using the volumes DA. (I have been running
system 7 in 24 bit mode). In my excitement at getting Silverlining 5.31, I
tried running System 7.0 in 32 bit mode. I didn't notice much difference,
but it seemed to work OK. Next, I use switcher so that the sys7 partition
will not mount and I select the sys6 partition and reboot. I get a dialog
saying "This system is setup for 32 bit. Proceed in 24 bit or reboot?"
So, how does it know it is in 32 bit mode? I thought it had to do with the
system you are running. Would sys 6 still see the 32 bit mode if I did
a hard reboot (power off, then on.) Will I have to reset 32 bit mode
every time I use my System 7 partition? (It reverted to 24 bit after I
selectec proceed in 24 bit mode.) Thanks for any hints.
P.S. I am making a list of Macintosh cookies (Pictures in ROM, etc.)
Would anyone like me to post it?
