*7.1.x without thread manager is the highest system that works on the Rocket Mac. That means, no netscape, or any modern web browser.
Nice report, Maccess. Thread Manager definitely does not work under any circumstances (Extension order etc)? Have you tried patching the Thread Manager resources from System 7.5.x into 7.1.x? I doubt whether it would work, but worth a try. Does the 33MHz Rocket support System 7.0.1 and have you tried patching it?
Hmm, that's interesting. Under 7.1.x thread manager is an extension (v2.1.3), but I haven't tried patching it into the system with Res Edit.

the reason I had it hooked up (or tried to) was because I wanted to run a scanner with some batch processing while using the 7100 for other things.

When I get around to it I'll install it in a Quadra 650 and see how it goes. I expect it to work great in that machine.....now if I can only find 16MB 30pin SIMMs for my rocket.

Mine has a SCSI accelerator card, BTW, which is great since I have a Quadra PDS Photobooster which can be shared by both the Host and the Rocket.

Radius Rocket Technical Overview (all variants) However, I have to correct this error on that page:

1 megabyte and 4 megabyte SIMMs will not work with the Radius Rocket. This therefore means a minimum of 8 megabytes needs to be installed on the Rocket.
On the contrary, 1 and 4MB SIMMs work on the Rocket. It is 2MB SIMMS that don't work. Many 16MB SIMMs are also known to work (there is an accompanying READ ME file in RocketShare that lists 16MB SIMMs known to work).
