The SE is 7.8336 MHz and is expandable to 4MB.
The SE/30 is 15.6672 MHz and is expandable to 64MB.
Yes, I see the error of my ways. :-)
My SE/30 maxes at 8MB only because the price of memory is too high. :-(
But, at 3.5 days for a "make build", the SE/30 is the fastest netbsd
system available! :-)
But to interject more possibly corrupt memory into this, I don't
believe the SE/30 can go that high. Wasn't there a hard 13MB limit on
the older Macs because of the way the memory was arranged? Maybe that
was just a ROM limit that only affects the MacOS....
