Could someone tell me what the last version of Macintosh System to run on
68K machines was? Where can I get a copy?
Peace... Sridhar

I had a Quadra 650 that runs a 68040 and it ran 8.2 fine, never tried more
than that but rumor has it that it would run 9.0
I bought 8.2 new int he box on ebay for mine, not sure of a download site.
There is info on aspects of Macs at everymac.com that might be of use to
you.

I think system 7.1? You can however run a neato unix system on it named
MiNT. MiNT is a bsd variant that runs on 68k boxes that don't have an mmu
or fpu onboard. Of course if you have these chips on a later-model
machine so much the better.
I run it on my 4mb Atari Mega St and am pretty happy with it.
Just do a websearch for SpareMint or MacMint.

Jeff
