ok so its not a real SE/30 computer that i'm operateing with, its an emulator. SoftMacXP to be excat. from what i've been able to dicern its the same I/O as far as handleing the ram and the OS and BIOS see the computer as normal unless somthign happens. so you got the emulated hardware working withoout the risk of a breakdown right? no. i encountered a very serious problem, as seen here.
