Since 6.0.7 has the new Sound Manager, it's not compatible with any
HyperCard version previous to 2.0. If you don't use any sound ("play",
"dial", or "beep"), it should probably work without major problems.

What I'd suggest is that you, by hook or by crook, get a copy of 6.0.5,
since it has the distinction of being the only version that supports
HyperCard 1.2.5 and 2.0.

                 System   6.0.2   6.0.3   6.0.4   6.0.5   6.0.7
HyperCard 1.2.2             x       x
          1.2.5                             x       x
          2.0                                       x       x
