7.5.5 or 7.6?

With some software hacks, it also becomes possible to run OS 8.0 or OS 8.1 (whereas the SE/30 normally can only run up to System 7.5.5. However, it has been confirmed that a stock SE/30 can also boot off a System 7.6 boot disk).

This seems contradictory to me. Can it normally run up to 7.5.5, or up to 7.6? Are there any drawbacks to running 7.6 on an SE/30? Or is 7.5.5 just Apple's officially recommended maximum? 134.117.141.111 22:06, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The SE/30 can go all the way up to 7.6.1, but cannot run 8.0 with the 68030 as Mac OS 8 requires a 32-bit processor. The 68040 obviously is, which will enable the SE/30 to use 8.0 or 8.1 on it. 8.5 or higher requires a PowerPC processor. I will change the article to reflect this. --2dFx (talk) 01:35, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
