OS 7.1 huh (?)..... do you think my older Macs will run better in 7.1? I mean honestly 7.5 in my opinion its pretty bad (unless you go up to 7.5.5 and still I remember I didn't see much improvement AT ALL in my IIci I used to own 10 years ago,after everyone I knew kept recommending it) and I must admit, every OS I tested from that point on keep going downhill IMHO until OS 9.2 came up (9 was pretty buggy and don't get me started with 8, sometimes I couldn't even scroll on finder windows who knows why) I have 7.5 in all my older macs because I own the Mac Advocate CD 2 that brought it, but does anyone in this list recommend any specific version of OS that wont crash as often as 7.5 and its more reliable?
This is all pretty subjective stuff, but my 2p would be:
68000 CPU: System 6 (or earlier!) unless you need some facility of 7.
68030 CPU: System 7.1 unless you need some facility of 7.5, and can't 'fiddle it'
68040 CPU: Stripped down 8.1 would get my vote - not significantly slower than 7.5/7.6, and more 'modern' interface. Needs 32MB+, of course.
