What I am after is the feature called At Ease but how can I get itI have a strong predisposition to running 7.1 on the Classic II, as it is stable and relatively simple. System 6 (there is a version that works) will make it fly, but 7.1 is still somewhat nimble.
However, I also have a vague recollection that one of our old and most knowledgeable members from years and years back, equill, ran 7.5.3 on a Classic II. And the machine was used for years and years like that. That would, however, presumably require that one turn most all the 7.5 fluff off. For instance, AppleGuide would surely make a CII slow to a crawl, and you will take real RAM hits from loading QuickDraw GX, Quicktime, and the like, to no real benefit. You might, however, want to get good AppleScript and some nice touches like hierarchical menus and so on from a stripped down 7.5.3.
As I understand it, there is nothing to be gained from running 7.5.5 on any 68k unit over 7.5.3; 7.5.5 was mostly for PPC. Someone will no doubt correct me If I am wrong.
System Picker will allow you to have multiple System Folders, so you can boot from installations of Systems 6, 7.1 and 7.5 on the same startup disk.

I think that Launcher only first appeared in a version of 7.5I should perhaps add that the later Launcher (a Control Panel) looks somewhat like At Ease, but I don’t think that would work with System 7. Never felt the need to try it that way.
Mind you, I expect that the Launcher was just a GUI for the aliases feature first introduced with System 7. Maybe it would work!
Ok I am currently running system 7.1 but I need to update to 7.5.5. I have the update disks for 7.5.5 but it won’t install. What do I need? 7.5.3? Does anyone have 7.5.3 that you could share with me? I can pay you for the disks
To make the repairs necessary or to make the necessary repairs? Big difference. Anyone can make the repairs necessary. Doesn’t need to be a professional.3. I prefer to pay a professional to make the repairs necessary
