Subject: Re: Word Perfect 5.1 Documents?
Me too, & I keep meaning to fix my Classic II,
which was a lovely
little distraction-free writing machine. I am also tempted to fix up a
Beige G3 and run 9.2.2 on it - Word 5.1 runs fine on that, IIRC. I
have an old Apple portrait monitor that works on the far-newer Beige
G3s, as well. :-)
I think the old word processors were made for old B&W displays. Recently got
my hands on a SE motherboard with a Radius 030/25 CPU upgrade and a Radius
FP display card attachment. If I ever get a spare SE and if I can find a
cheap FP monitor I will be word processing heaven (same with DTP). Apple had
quite a few interesting word processing apps in the 68K era.
