It is especially useful for pre-press, image processing, desktop publishing, animation, CAD, scanning, other memory-intensive applications, or use of large numbers of applications. MODE32 enables the use of the standard 32-bit addressing mode of System 7.0. This new mode allows direct access to up to 128 megabytes of standard RAM or up to one gigabyte of virtual memory, eliminating the traditional “eight megabyte barrier.” 32-bit addressing would normally not be possible on the SE/30, II, IIx, and IIcx systems because of the software built into their ROMs. Those ROMs are only compatible with the less powerful 24-bit addressing mode which was standard in System 6.0. By extending the compatibility of the ROMs to the new 32-bit mode, MODE32 provides full System 7.0 32-bit functionality to these earlier machines. Some applications and INITs are not “32-bit clean,” that is, they are incompatible with 32-bit mode. Such software will usually cause your system to crash immediately when run in 32-bit mode. When you need to work with any non 32-bit clean INITs or applications we recommend using MAXIMA. MAXIMA extends addressing of your physical memory to 14 megabytes without resorting to 32-bit addressing, so it is compatible with essentially all applications. ___________________________________________________________________ Installation MODE32 is simple to install. Just drop MODE32 in your System 7 Control Panels folder. Next, open the Control Panels folder and double-click the MODE32 icon. Click the “Enabled” radio button inside the MODE32 Control Panel and close this window. MODE32 is now fully installed, but your machine is still set to start up in 24…
