I have a Mac II, FDHD ROMs, no floppy drives (broken), PMMU, 20MB RAM, 2 Nubus cards. Under system 7 memory control panel I do not get the 32 bit option (the ROMs need a wash). The Finder says I have 20MB memory of which 6MB is free. I expected this to be 20MB with about 13MB free. Why not? Why do people with just 8MB RAM get more virtual memory than me? When I try to turn on virtual memory, it says 20MB memory, 8MB free disk space - not enough disk space. Why not enough? Why does disk space have to match RAM space? I would have expected RAM+DISK=total memory available. If x=RAM and y=DISK then total memory available should be x+y right? Why does y have to be >= x? Strange stuff.
