Comment:

Does anybody know the system requirements for Mac OS 8.0? And one more thing, the specs that I found online for my old PowerBook 190cs state that the max OS that it can handle is 8.1, so is this true, or will 8.5 really work on it?
Thanks

The requirements for Mac OS 8.1 are the same as for
Mac OS 8:

1. Your computer must have a 68040 or PowerPC
processor.

2. You must have 12 MB of real RAM (and virtual
memory up to 20 MB if you have less than 20 MB real
RAM).

3. For the Mac OS 8.1 Update you must have
approximately 49 MB of free hard disk space and
Mac OS 8 to update.

4. If you have the Mac OS 8.1 CD, you must have
approximately 195 MB of hard disk space to update.

OS 8.1 is the highest this machine can use
according to Apple. Most likely there would be files
missing in 8.5 that would be nneded for this model.
