I wish someone would combine the following features into a central
utility (FKEY?) that would make the Mac II behave more like a vanilla
Mac:
1. Turn off cache
2. Turn off multifinder or disable it.
3. Go to black/white mode
4. Recofigure the machine to think it only has 1 megabyte
5. Can anyone think of other things to try, to make misbehaving
programs run?
(It might have to reboot the machine to do this).
This would be a great help to Mac II owners, but a step backwards,
because it encourages sleazy software products, such as the Microsoft
(Excel), Macpaint (Bill Atkinson) and MacWrite (Apple). All these
programs use terribly machine-dependent kluges and don't rely on the
system software the way they should.
