This is ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE. While only the three new models REQUIRE version 6.0.7, there are changes and bug-fixes for ALL supported models (i.e. Mac Plus or newer). Repeating: Apple consistantly recommends that users run the newest version of the operating system whenever possible. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Cavallino | EMail: jcav@midway.uchicago.edu University of Chicago Hospitals | USMail: 5841 S.

Wrong. While it's true that 6.0.7 may be even buggier than 6.0.5 (not
a flame, Apple...) you, as a programmer, should understand the
benifits and pitfalls of using newer system software. While it may
not be *required* (or even recommended by Apple) for your SE/30, there
are plusses to upgrading.
Check out the Technical Change history doc from Apple, which describes
the changes made in 6.0.7.
Features include:
- tons of changes to the Script Manager
- all new Sound Manager (it will no longer munge FPU registers at
interrupt time! yay!)
- minor changes to List Manager, Monitors, International Utilities,
MultiFinder, etc.
