Hi Cameron,
Speaking of PB's, I might be inheriting an '040
520c soon. 8.1 does run
on the 040, yes? Does anyone have personal experience (not "Apple claims
it does")?
Like the LC475, my 520c has the 68LC040 processor, not the full 68040 - I
assume your situation is the same. If I'm wrong, we can set about
installing BSD. Linux will also run on this machine, but from what I read,
the FPU emulation is not reliable yet.
That said, my 520c is currently running 8.X - I don't recall if it's 8.1,
8.5 or 8.6. I don't really use it very often, but if I remember correctly
it seems a little loaded down.
