I run 7.1 on my 50MHz SE/30 and it's smooth as silk AND runs on the internet (albeit in black & white which makes it slightly less great - I need a Micron Xceed :( ) I am thinking of applying a catelog system to my parts, now I have a positive mountain of LC spares and old disk drives, and maybe my SE/30 and Filemaker Pro 3.0 is th thing for it :). IT's a shame the ethernet card has packed up, although I also suspect my father's el dodgy cheapo 10/100 switch may be screwing it off (wow that sounds naughty :o). 7.1 has a wider range of applications than 6.0.8 (i.e. stuff that requires System 7 or later) and is much nicer for TCP/IP, above 8MB RAM and such. If you want to play with 6.0.8 try it on a Classic, LC/LCII or an SE, as they are limited to RAM with or around the reaches of System 6 and are too slow to run System 7 effectively. -- Mark Benson Vintage Macs List Nanny http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson http://fpm.gotdns.com -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
