OzTeX, a free ware TeX for Mac, will run on a MacPlus with 4Mb RAM, and 
needs about 6MB storage, mostly for fonts. Of course, it runs faster
on a Quadra... :-) You can find OzTeX on most of the standard TeX
archives; for instance, I think it shows up on ymir.claremont.edu.

DirectTeX, a $100 shareware program, should also run on the Classic,
though
I haven't tried it.
