•WHAT YOU NEED
A Macintosh running System 7.0.x or 7.1.x (System 7.1.2 (for Power Mac) is now supported). This Control Panel has been written on a Macintosh Classic with THINK Pascal™ 4.0 (in 24 bits mode, without Color QuickDraw nor virtual memory), then on a Macintosh LC 475 with 040 cache on and 32 bits addressing mode. It should theorically run without any problems on the other Macs. Tested successfully on a Power Mac 8100/80.
If there are some, please send me a note. Tell me which System you run, the mac model, the active Extensions and Control Panels, and also if virtual memory, 32 bits addressing and 040 chache (if there is) are on.
Please, ask for French version if you want it.
