Great Idea! We could end up with an archive containing tired-and-true solutions for all these applications. Good on ya Dan! ummmm, I have a lot of experience with battery/powersupply solutions for old powerbooks. I have a lot of decent games that run on my SE, and I spent hours and hours auditioning commercial and shareware games fo ensure that they actually worked in B+W, and were interesting enough to keep. My archive is a blend of ancient commercial, shareware, and abandonware which I'd be happy to share or post to an archive as long as I never hear from anyone's lawyer ( is anyone making money on Spaceward Ho v3.0 anymore, honestly?) I've also done the homework on every tiny compact 3D modelling app I could lay my hands on, most of which are very limited in capability, but all of which can be run on an SE (so I assume on a 512K). I'd be happy to post a list of these, with a brief description, if requested. Sounds like a worthwhile project that will help a lot of people out.
