Actually, I never tried to get development for new system 6 code. I have 
to much business sense for that, besides you can get almost any kind of 
program for system 6, just not modern stuff like web browsing. Something 
which I use my iMac SE for.

You can get pretty far with software written in very neat and efficient 
68000 assembly code. Problem: there are very few people who are that 
good at programming... They are now among the most expensive and time 
pressed software architects around.
Luckily, especially those top of the bill programmers have a weakness 
for system 6, because it is one of the all time masterpieces in their 
field.

Translated into the music business: it is like asking the late Heifetz 
to play for free, but you might have a chance because you are asking him 
to play Bach.
