- How much RAM do your AMD have ?
-
- Also, as far as I know, the Mac LCIII have a 68030 processor... The
- first LC Mac which get an '040 CPU was the LC475.
-
- Third point, is your Linux version really 1.2.8 ? I read on this list
- 5 minutes ago that v. 1.3.?? was a requirement.
-
- Thanks for any details
