I would try looking for a way to test if the existing apps the kids are using will work under OS 8.x.

If they do then I would ditch 7 for 8 and try for the latest version of 8 it will run comfortably after a fresh install. I still have fond memories of the rock-solid (compared to 9.x) nature of 8.6.

I'm sure someone on the list must have some circa 500 MB SCSI drives gathering dust. Except for me of course;)

Has there not been whole older systems being offered as donations recently, have they all been spoken for?

Good Luck

Actually it's IDE hard drive required ....... and existing 500Mb is too full to handle OS 8.1
and he needs....  at least    1Gb  IDE hard drive !

I have already offered 500Mb if they could be used but it doesn't work out for
an all in one like the Performa 580

Anybody with 1 Gb IDE drives ?????
