Don't forget gamba!AppleSpec is riddled with errors, I posted some good info in a ClarisWorks file that I finally found too, dunno if OS support is included offhand, but it has info like portrait support that's entirely missing from AppleSpec. jt  ™.

I like apple-history a lot.... very detailed and even a product description! new items seem to take a long while to be added, but all the older computers are right there with loads of info right there. everymac.com has good info too.________________

Hell yeah. I remember when i first got my 8100 (rest in peace... ), i consulted it to find out how much RAM the 8100 had. AppleSpec told me that the 8100 had 16 megs of onboard RAM. I take all the RAM out, and i ended up with a PM8100 with 8 megs of RAM. -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5

i found an app that has the entire datebase in searchable form... its pretty cool but very tedious because it includes the post-1997 stuff as well and i'm not very fond of the interface... but i found the info i was looking for (versions of the OS supported by my performa 578) so I'm happy.-----

Uh, yeah. Isn't that link right at the bottom of the normal applespec page? quote:
AppleSpec is riddled with errors,
I had a rev D iMac. For the longest time, I didn't buy ram for it because applespec listed the maximum capacity at 128 megs (it still says that). Then I noticed that it also said that it supported 128 meg dimms. I got confused, looked around, and realized that it could take up to 256 megs. It also said that it couldn't run OS 9 practically until X came out. I couldn't think why the hell that would be true, so I installed it anyway, and of course it worked. Thanks, applespec, for your untiring efforts to provide true and useful info. On the other hand, it does give handy bit-depth configurations and a useful tidbit in the "notes" section now and then. { candyPunk }
