CONNECTIX TAKES OVER 32-BIT MANAGEMENT FOR MAC II, IIx, IIcx AND SE/30
Releasing MODE32 for System 7.5 on September 16

September 7, 1994, San Mateo, CA- Connectix Corporation today announced a
cooperative agreement with Apple Computer, Inc. to release Version 7.5 of
MODE32. The new version will ship on September 16, 1994 and is fully
compatible with System 7.5.

MODE32 is a system extension and control panel that enables Mac II, IIx,
IIcx and SE/30 systems to use standard System 7 32-bit addressing. 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 Macs.

As of this release date Apple is officially dropping development support
for its internally-developed 32-bit addressing solution for these models.
Apple's 32-Bit System Enabler is not compatible with System 7.5 and no
additional versions of this Enabler are currently expected to be
released.

Users may obtain information about acquiring, installing, and using MODE32
from Apple at 800/SOS-APPLE. Users may also continue to contact Apple
Computer regarding comptability problems of Macintosh products with 32-bit
addressing. However, they should report compatability issues appearing to
relate specifically to MODE32 directly to Connectix.

....users may freely download copies from the Connectix AppleLink, America
Online, or Compuserve BBS forums. They may also get MODE32 from many Apple
dealers, user groups, or, for a handling fee of $9.95, directly from
Connectix by calling 800/950-5880 (international: $14.95, fax
415/571-5195).

Users may copy and distribute System 7 compatible versions of MODE32 to
others. Any handling or other commercial fees must be approved by
Connectix. International users may contact their local Connectix
distributor for information about how to obtain a copy.

Connectix will work to maintain MODE32 compatibility with future versions
of System 7, and will revise the version number to match the highest
version number of System 7 software which has been qualified as compatible
with MODE32. If a version can be developed for Macintosh Systems
subsequent to System 7.x, users may be asked to pay an upgrade fee or
purchase a new product.

MODE32 was first developed and published by Connectix in 1991 as a
commercial product. In September 1991, Apple Computer purchased the rights
to distribute this product free of charge to its users. In essence, this
agreement extends that right to a newly developed version of MODE32, which
is now compatible with System 7.5.
