RAM upgrade for Macintosh SE30

[surfer150]

I’m looking for upgrading my SE30 from 4 to 32 MB of RAM. But I’m uncertain which type of RAM i need. There seem to be to types of 30pin SIMM modules: FPM and EDO.

I found this modules, will they work?

Does the SE30 support parity?

Those should work just fine. The SE and SE/30 aren't very picky about what type of RAM you get and parity doesn't matter.

Thank you very much. I ordered this modules now.

The RAM arrived and I upgraded it today. Additionally I put in a new HDD with 4 GB and a ROM-Inator II in order to be able to address the entire RAM without MODE32.

But I’m not able to install Mac OS 7.5.3. Even though it should support up to 4 GB partition size, the installation does not work. It says that 29619 KB are needed, but -35371 KB are available. What can i do? I already initialized it with patched HD SC Setup 7.3.5.

My Classic II has a 4 GB drive too using the entire drive as a single partition was not an issue at all.

On your 4GB drive, partition to < 2.0 GB x 2, this is a limitation of the file system

But why it works on my Classic II with 7.6 then?
