8.1 is only supported on Macs with a 68040 or PowerPC CPU. However, there are some hacks to make it install and "run" (more like crwal) on a Mac with a 68030 like the LCIII. I'd stay with 7.5.5. A better idea would be to clock it up from 25Mhz to 33Mhz to essentially convert it to an LCIII+. At these speeds, another 8 million clock cycles per second makes a lot of difference! :) ===== Say hello to Juror #49. Yep, I'm on jury duty until the end of March. Gotta call in each weekend.
