I'm running Euro-OzTeX on a Mac Classic II with 4Mb RAM,
and it's great.
I actually prefer the output on a StyleWriter
to that on a LaserWriter.

Euro-OzTex is a slight re-packaging of OzTeX
by Yannis Haramboulos and others.
It is available by FTP from
ftp.cicb.fr (IP 129.20.128.2)
directory gut/EuroOzTeX .

I don't think the Metafont in either OzTeX or Euro-OzTeX
will work on a Classic -- the former requires MPW,
and the latter a floating-point chip.
But of course Metafont is not necessary for TeX/LaTex.
