I have about three older-range macs based on 680x0 processors I don´t use
anymore [for obvious reasons... :) ]. These are (in order of suckyness)

        1) Macintosh SE/20              7 MHz 68000 processor 1986 model
        2) Macintosh LC                16 MHz 68020 processor 1990 model
        3) Macintosh Powerbook 145     32 MHz 68030 processor 1991 model

The SE/20´s boot image is a primitive version of Mac OS 3.x I think, while
the two others are 6.0.x and 7.0.x respectively. Don´t think sys 7 will do
any good as it´s got a voracious RAM appetite (about 2 Megs!)

It is a tribute to the Macintosh compatibility policy that the SE can run
Settlers.

I would be happy to dump the ROM off any of these and not use the computer
(they´re gathering dust anyway...)
