Yeah, we know that but the hypothesis was "if you managed to get 8.5 to run on an 840AV" and the conclusion was "MSWord98 and NS4.76 wouldn't run." If it was possible to run 8.5 (which we know it isn't), that would imply that somehow the 68040 was running PPC code (which it can't) therefore it should have no problem with Word or NS (which is would). :-) -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
