Hi folks...
I have a Color Classic Mystic. I have a SCSI2CF for a hard drive, 132MB MBs of RAM, a full 68940 in a LC 575, the 640 X 480 mod, and Internet access. I can boot to 7.6.1 or 8.1.
Here is my issue....
I keep looking on ebay and other places for the latest versions of popular software that I can install under 8.1. But even if the seller posts a photo of the box, I can't tell if it will run, or if it will run, can I install a newer version? About the only software that I can find reliable data for, are which are the latest versions of Netscape and IE I can run. But other than that, it is a crap shoot.
Has anyone made a list of what common software will run under which processor and which classic OS? Maybe someone made a list for the 68030 processors? Or maybe for my Mystic with a full 68040? Maybe someone has built a website where we can go to find out this information?
I buy software on ebay and many times it will not run in my Color Classic. I tried a few games and some make it and some do not.
Can anyone give me an idea of which are the most current versions of the software below, that will run under 8.1 in 640 X 480, on my 68040 processor?
Maybe we can find someone who has an older Mac software support web page and start to build some lists to post for everyone?
For example, what is the most current version of the software below that will run under 8.1 & a 68040 in a Mystic?
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Acrobat
Adobe Pagemaker
Adobe Illustrator
Microsoft Office
Can I install Windows 95?
Norton Tools
Claris Works
iMovie (from 1999 version 1 v1.0.1)
Stuffit Expander
Micromat Tech Tools
Word Perfect
Any help, or pointers to web sites appreciated.
Thank you
