MODE32 is a system extension produced by Connectix that provides 32-bit addressing for System 7 through System 7.5 on the Macintosh SE/30, II (requires PMMU), IIx, and IIcx. This feature is otherwise unavailable on these Macintosh models, yet is needed to run System 7.5. MODE32 is only designed for use on these four Macintosh computers.
MODE32 may operate with System 7 Pro, but has not been tested and is not supported.
Either MODE32 or Apple's 32-bit Enabler can be used with System 7.1, but do NOT use both at the same time.
MODE32 only works with System 7.0 and later. If you want to use 32-bit addressing mode with System 6.0 you need to use the Connectix product, OPTIMA.
For more information on MODE32, see "MODE32 Version 7.5: Release Notes and Instructions" and "System 7.5: MODE32 Now Compatible."
