- Apple plans to continue to support 680x0 Macs, but to varying degrees.
- (And their track record is good: 7.5.3, the latest system, runs on a 1986
- 6800 Mac Plus today without any change in hardware. A hard disk and enough
- RAM is all that may be missing)
-
- But Copland is a different story. It is being specifically designed to get
- the most from the PowerPC macs. My understanding is that System 7 will
- continue to be tweaked for 680x0 machines, but System 8 (Copland), System
- 9 (Gershwin) etc. will only run on the RISC machines. I don't know what
- emulation can do with this--it would have to emulate an entirely different
- processor.
