I can report that HC seems to work just fine in Tiger. I don't use it
often and I haven't done any new development in it, but the old HC
stacks I have lying around before I port them to Rev all seem to run
along fat, dumb, and happy.

Hi Tim,
I run a G4 bi-pro with Tiger 10.4.1.
HyperCard 2.4.1 US with many additional utilities including 120
externals in use, a 3.4 MB library, color tools, a multi-purposes
plugin I wrote many years ago (1.5 MB) and much more... A real HC
factory which needs an allocation of 15 MB of RAM (nothing at the
moment but quite impressive some years ago :-)
All that works perfectly with Tiger as it worked with Jaguar and
Panther in the Classic environment :-)
I think the reported issues are personal ones ;-)
Pay attention to RAM allocation: old system 9 feature, often
forgotten since Unix came in...

I skimmed the thread on Tiger breaks hyperCard. I wasn't too
concerned at the time.
I'm concluding the process of the OS 9 to OS X transition, once
and for all. I'm on 10.3.9. I see its virtues. So, now I need
another machine capable of running OS X. I'm thinking about Mac
Mini, but they ship with Tiger installed.
I will probably need to run hyperCard in classic mode
occasionally, at least for the next year or so, until my HC-->Rev
stacks are totally solid. I inquired on comp.sys.mac.apps. The
main players there are usually reliable. They say hyperCard works
fine on Tiger, in their experience. So, maybe only certain
hyperCard features don't work? Which ones?
If Tiger breaks hyperCard, it seems like it must break a lot of
other Classic applications also, true?
If Tiger-Breaks-HyperCard (and maybe a lot of other Classic
applications, too) is a serious problem, would it be reasonable to
replace Tiger with OS 10.3.9 on a new Mac Mini? My instincts say,
"Don't try it."
Since I'm on the topic, I don't mind that the Mac Mini is "only" a
G4. The slow system bus speed concerns me, though -- 167 mhz.
OTOH, I am only an occasional user of CPU-intensive applications.
Is the slow system bus a serious bottleneck? I know this is a
little OT. Sorry. I know this is a Rev group, but many of us are
former HC users, some still in transition.
