Q: Upgrading my Mac SE FDHD from 3.2 to 6.0.X

Hey, I have an Apple SE FDHD running system 3.2, I also have the system disks for 6.0.8. Is it possible to install 6.0.8 straight from 3.2 or would I have to install 4.0.X, 5.0.X and then 6.0.X?

 

Also, does anyone know if the Apple SE can support two chip SIMM RAM?

Apple SE FDHD, Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier

Straight to 6.0.8 will work fine.  You'll still be able to run other programs that are on your hard drive (assuming that's what you're installing to).

It's pretty unlikely unless it was made specifically for the SE.

    Thanks a lot.

     

    My SE has 1MB of RAM, does anyone know where I can buy compatible RAM to upgrade it to 4MB?

    Nevermind, I just found 4-1MB SIMMs on eBay.
