- I just acquired a Mac Portable (NOT a PowerBook) with a backlit screen,
- probably not much more than a year old. It is running System 7.
-
- My questions are of two kinds. The first kind is, What utilities are
- indispensable or at least incredibly useful with a Mac Portable? Are
- there any special tricks or tips that I should know about?
-
- The second question is this: I would much rather run System 6.0.x on
- the Portable, both for speed and memory purposes. When I bought it, the
- previous owner tried to put System 6.0.5 and 6.0.8 on it, but the
- backlighting would not work. What is the earliest version of the System
- software that will support a Mac Portable with backlighting? What
- controls the backlighting?
-
- Any help with these questions will be much appreciated.
