Still enjoying my once-again-working Mac Classic II, I was just pondering
whether or not I should upgrade the System software. It arrived with
System 7.1, and I have not upgraded it as yet. I was wondering what the
most stable and effecient System software is for a Classic II? Is it
worth upgrading, or should I stick with 7.1? I was told 7.5.3 was the
best bet for my Performa 630CD, and I've been running that for over a year
now with no trouble. Also, what are memory requirements for System
software above version 7.1? My Classic II only has 4 MB of RAM currently.
And while we're on the subject, how about a Mac Plus? My Plus (currently
non-functioning, but that will change soon) has 6.0.8 on it (I *think*).
It currently only has 1 MB of RAM, but I think I'm going to upgrade it as
soon as I get it running again.
IMHO, 7.5.5 will be OK on a Classic II with 10Mb, but I'd stick to 7.1 unless you have software that needs 7.5.5. Remember, a CII is slower than an SE/30.
IMHO, 6.0.8 on a 4Mb Plus is just fine. Mind, you booting an earlier System off a HD is incredibly fast. ISTR around 5 seconds for System 5 on a 512Ke.
