Since all MacII's in existence are PROTOTYPES (ie, not finished), 
saying what does and doesn't run now isn't very useful information.
The particular machine at Ohio State has much less than current
ROMs and system software.  

Applications that follow the rules (which are bashed into developer's
heads over and over) will run on a MacII.  In particular see tech
notes #2 and #117.

Happy Programming,
Fred
