I’ve recently acquired an SE/30 which I’ve recapped and upgraded to 20MB RAM, it’s running System 7.5.3 on a speedy 4GB Quantum drive.
I’ve got the Mode32 7.5 extension installed to enable use of the extra RAM, but I find the machine a little unstable/crash-prone with 32-bit addressing turned on. Would I fare better in terms of stability if I had a 32-bit clean ROM (e.g. Rominator II) installed?
Also, a bit off-topic, but what is the rationale of the ‘•Shut Down’ desk accessory in the Apple menu? It seems redundant when you can use the Special menu. I guess it saves having to switch to the Finder first - but I’d always quit my open applications first anyway before initiating a shutdown.. (I grew up starting with Mac OS 8, by which time this DA was no longer a thing…)
