My daughter regularly uses Reader Rabbits Kindergarten as well as a couple
of Jump Start and Broderbund educational CDs. They all require a 68040
however. By and large they run well on an 040 and she has fun as well as
learns a bit. I bought most of it in the '98-'99 time frame.
Your post made me curious as to whether there might be older versions (like
for a 68030). A quick check of Ebay using "broderbund" as a keyword turned
up quite a bit.

Here's the first one I checked. It said it requires a 68030 (25 MHz or
better). Even though you IIsi runs at 20 MHz, I suspect it would work just
fine. A couple of the CDs that I have require a 68040 at 40 MHz, but work
just fine at 33 MHz. Some of the interactive game stuff might just be a
touch slow at times. These things sell cheaply enough on ebay that it's
probably worth taking a chance on.
