Actually this is wrong.
Whether a Mac was "32 bit clean" or not was dependent upon it's ROM's
and not the CPU chip. All the '030 used are 32 bit setups at least
internally and I think Michael my be right in saying 32 bit bus too.
Personally I found 7.6x to be buggy and recommend 7.5.5 (with
appropriate updates).
