"According to Chris Espinoza, advanced technology marketing manager,
five-year old Macintosh applications software not only still operates
on the newest Mac system, but also takes advantage of its enhanced
memory, 68030 processor and large-screen displays.  The Macintosh
software automatically adjusts applications to the new enchanced Mac
II environment.

"As a demonstration, Espinoza took his own copy of Microsoft MultiPlan
(purchased in spring 1984) and slid it into the new IIcx.  The
spreadsheet opened to the full megapixel limit of the attached Mac
page display and allowed full spreadsheet access to the Mac IIcx's 4
Mbytes of system RAM.

"`That's our design philosophy here at Apple,' said Espinoza.  And
while he won't guarantee that every Mac software vendor wrote code as
cleanly as Microsoft [sic], he points out that this kind of
compatibility is [not] available with the competing 386 PC systems."

Excerpted from "Mac IIcx: Smaller size, smaller price", EE Times,
March 13, 1989, page 14.  Presumably the IIcx was running System
6.0.3.
