Is there a version of Switcher that runs on a Mac II?
I have Switcher 5.1 that works fine on a Mac SE but not on a Mac II.

Thanks.

Switcher 5.1 is the last released version of Switcher.  Unfortunately,
it does NOT work on a Mac II.  I doubt that it ever will.

MultiFinder 1.0 and 6.0 both work very nicely with the Mac II.

If MultiFinder requires too much memory, you could try one of the later
versions of Servant.  It does work moderately well with a Mac II.  The
last version I saw floating around was 0.92 or so.  I haven't heard much
about Servant in quite a while, come to think of it.

Servant, of course, is not an Apple product but is the independent
creation of Switcher's original author, Andy Hertzfeld.
