    I doubt ther is an emulator nvironment you could run them in .... if you can find them at all, eBay would be your best chance....



    I'm really not even sure they were known by such numbers at that stage. I can remember using System 6 ... but I really don't recall a "System 5" (or any earlier number) ... of course, It was 1986 before I traded my Apple II for a Mac

    Color goes back to at least System 6. In fact, 32-bit color was introduced as a System 6 INIT (extension).

    Yep. I think System 6 was the first color sys. I have fond memories of running 6.0.7 on my Classic and being able to view a color equivalent on a friend's Mac II.



    I also remember connecting to that Mac II via Z-term and a brand new 2400 baud modem... good times.

    I always thought Apple should release all Classic systems free to download. That includes OS 9. I mean it's been almost half a decade now...
