I'm surprised by this statement; I despise the SE/30s because they run TOO fast
and are an '030 -- both of which are a deadly combination for trying to get old
games to run. The 16MHz is too fast, but just in case, the '030's cache
completely screws up any self-modifying code tricks.
The rest of your email was helpful and informative, thank you.
