		WoodenChair on June 24, 2015 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Mac OS 7.5.5 running on Apple Watch [video] For the record, my Performa 6116CD which shipped with 7.5 had a 60 MHZ PPC 601 and 8 MB RAM. It could run on significantly less than that as well - in fact I believe it ran as far back as on some 80s machines.

Yup. I had an LC520 (25 MHz 030--not that far back from your 6116) that ran 7.5.x.

7.5.5 was the last version that ran on the Mac Plus, SE, Classic, and various other 8MHz 68000 Macs.

Right but it ran System 7.0.x.

System 7.5 had OpenDoc, so it ran in two modes: fast, light, and stable, OR with OpenDoc.
