I own a 1040stf (TOS 1.2) and a Spectre-GCR (v2.65).

I have found that while it IS POSSIBLE to **EXECUTE** Hypercard Stacks,
Hypercard simply **WILL NOT** let you use **ANY** of the EDITING TOOLS

---I was using my ST as a 832k system, but the EDIT BOX in Hypercard 
was still unselectable...

I have also found that on an actual Mac Plus (1mb) , you CAN NOT CREATE
any Hypercard stacks(programs) because the EDIT TOOLS (again) are NOT
selectable.

Let me re-emphasize: YOU NEED MORE THAN 1-MEG TO ^WRITE^ ANYTHING
		     IN HYPERCARD!!!

I took my 1040 up to 2mb with the *** J.R.I. SIMMS upgrade board ***
I also had a second video shifter added too (socket on-board) and can enjoy
a 4096-colour pallate now instead of 512. Still 16 at once, but at least
its a TRUE 16-shade Gray-scale.

Again: Go To 2mb and buy a second floppy or a hard drive if you plan on doing
       Anything with the GCR! A real Mac is also a bitch to work with
       without a second drive(hard or floppy)!!!
