- Hmm - well, color Macs with large screens have to deal with peculiar
- location and shapes of windows. And of course monochrome Macs have problems
- with at least some color applications.
-
- As for the GS, the only applications that I have seen have problems are
- those written for special serial cards, etc. - things that are not present or
- things with specific roms. I would say that 99.99% of the software which I
- have tried on my GS works - including the stuff from back in my Apple II days.
- Oh - wait. There is one limitation - the GS doesn't have a cassette tape
- port, so all my old software on audio tapes can't be read in. But of course,
- many of thouse couldn't be put on a hard disk anyways (they expect to be
- running from a cassette) so it isn't too bad...
