Yep, according to Wikipedia it is. It's been years since I used such an old Mac, they had some at Exeter College. I remember winding one of the Mac loving staff up by replacing the Mac logo on boot up with the Windows flag logo from Windows 3.1Rob Beard wrote:dandart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote:Oooh now you're asking.

I'm going to try to tinker some more with it. Does anyone know if Linux will run on it? (m68k version I assume)If not, any *ux, or bsd? Cos it'd be nice to have something I can connect to - I may try to network the system using its serial port.CheersDanIf not, why not stick System 7 on there and have a trip down memory lane.I think all the 68k Linux/*BSD releases require a processor with an MMU built-in (or the external MMU in the case of the 68020). Isn't the Mac Classic just a 68000? James
Yes, I did have too much time on my hands (and I was one of the technicians there at the time rather than a student).
