- Yes it is. But you need a special version release 6.0.8L. This version
- has been written for the classic II and PB 100. It is supported by apple
- but is hard to get hold of. It is mainly intended for the education
- market. We have a lab with some classic II's running 6.0.8L without any
- problems.

- I suggest you try apple and I wish you luck.
