Compatibility: This version of Comet has been tested with various models of the Macintosh, and is likely to work with models from the Mac+ to the Quadra/660AV running Systems from 6.0.3 to 7.1. This version may work on the Mac 512KE and other systems running older versions of the Mac System, but you may experience problems.
Happy Comet Trails!
