-
- >At the very LEAST???? Are you really meaning to imply that they

-
- 1.3 is dead...don't dig it up.
-
- There's no excuse for it now...would you stil be using windows1.0 ?
- Simply soft-kick or buy a 2.0 rom they are cheap.
-
- 3.1 is a little on the expensive side as an upgrade but its worth it from 1.3
- or2.0
-
- MW>> That's not too much to ask, is it?
-
- >Yes, it is. You are then asking them to emulate or avoid v.3.X

- >RomSwitcher or some other means of using outdated operating systems
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
- Softkicking 2.04 costs 0$
-
- >for testing. The cost of upgrading is much less than the cost of
- >upgrading Macs or of just the extra RAM needed to run Windoze '95.
-
- I still think 2.0 should be supported....but for how much longer?
