Could someone please post the recommended System/Finder versions for each Macintosh machine? Thanx, Brett demon@wsu.bitnet

From the Winter/Spring Apple NEWS:
Sys/Find. Plus SE SE/30 II IIx IIcx IIci Port.
3.2/5.3 2
3.3/5.4 3
4.0/5.4 2 2
4.1/5.5 2/3 2/3 2/3
4.2/6.0 2/3 2/3 2/3
6.02/6.1 1/4 1/4 1/4
6.03/6.1 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4
6.04/6.1 1/4 1/4
Where 1 = Best system software for the hardware model
2 = Fine to use with hardware model
3 = Fine to use with AppleShare
4 = Best system tofor use with AppleShare 2.01 (use the Installer)
Like I said before, these are Apples recommendations. Of course you
would use system 6.0.5 with a IIfx.

Those two machines should use System 6.0.5 and Finder 6.1.5. -Rich

Don't they recommend that people with 512(Ke) or 128K Macs use a System/Finder? --Mark
