Why won't some software run on it? The original 'Woz' GS was ROM version 00, not ROM 01... that's an upgrade, which is free, BTW (hehe). As far as I know, virtually nothing works with the old ROM 00 because ROM 00 will not work with GS/OS. You need the ROM 01 upgrade for that and everything should work... assuming you have enough memory... 512k ABSOLUTE MINIMUM! That's just to BOOT GS/OS... if you want to run anything you'll probably need AT LEAST 768k and 1.2Mb is what you SHOULD have. >AND, can anyone tell me if these titles work? > Appleworks GS Not with ROM 00, but YES with ROM 01 and 1.2Mb RAM. > Sierra adventure games: Gold Rush, Police Quest.
