It's not quite for 68k, but hey - it's nifty and we're lenient! The funniest part is the system requirements on the box [yes, I have a boxed copy]: • PC with any 386 or 486 CPU • Microsoft Windows 3.0 or 3.1 • One hard disk • One floppy disk • 2MB RAM • VGA or better video Was software always this ambiguous?! OOohhH! Also, inside right with the two floppies [yes, its all on 2 floppies], theres a "5 1/4 disk request form"! It's great! But be on alert! You can only request 5 1/4 disks if your computer doesn't have a 3.5" drive. I wonder how they enforced that... -------------------- keeper of the website , master of the Quadra/Centris Stick of Justice™, and figure-head of the Peoples' PDS Republic --------------------

They either got you to send the 3.5" disks back with the form or they generally assume you don't want to replace your 3.5" disks with an inferior, slower and more easily damagedd media. -- Mark Benson FlatPackMacs http://fpm.gotdns.com 2nd Lieutenant - 68kMLA LC Quartermaster Flat Packing Macs for 68k MLA airlift excercises Macs Liberated = 14!

The Mac o.s especially is so constrictive, I feel like I am being suffocated. such as Imagecopy for atari will run on my Quadra(running MagicMac) on a Milan (MilanMagic 040/060cpu) Falcon (Tos 4.x 040/060cpu) TT (TOS 3.x 030 cpu) and st's be they 8/16 or 32 mhz and any TOS(maybe not any but most) up to 2.06. I am quite sure it also runs on thes operating systems:- Mint NaES Magic(any flavour) MultiTOS Geneva the rule for atari thing is that if it is a well written Gem program that dosnt call on "Specific hardware" then it'll run on virtually any of these machines/os's. Dont get me wrong I am now using my 68k Mac fulltime and it is doing the job better than the pc I had and better than my st I had & overall for practical use it is the best. But I would tweak a few things and a core flexibilty for software would be good. Yes I am sorry but the fact that mostly up to system 7 on apples things were compatible is not the best boast. shaktiman
scchicago Full Member USA 936 Posts	Posted - 26 Jun 2002 : 09:56:21 maybe it'll run on my 486. The reason I say that is because it has Windows NT 4.0 on it rather than Windows 3.1. (the computer came with 3.11 originally. and WOW! You need your own floppy disk in order to use this software. I don't like the idea of that! _________________ Leutennant SCCHICAGO HotLineServer(closed): scchicago.dynodns.net Website(closed): http://scchicago.dynodns.net MyForumOnDelphi: http://forums.delphiforums.com/scchicago NOTE:HL AND HTTP SERVER ARE ONLY AVAILIBLE WHEN I'M ONLINE

I wasn't mocking anybody except maybe the guy who wrote the system requirements on the box initially. _________________ Leutennant SCCHICAGO HotLineServer(closed): scchicago.dynodns.net Website(closed): http://scchicago.dynodns.net MyForumOnDelphi: http://forums.delphiforums.com/scchicago NOTE:HL AND HTTP SERVER ARE ONLY AVAILIBLE WHEN I'M ONLINE
