In article <8440.27aeea25@jetson.uh.edu> socqh@jetson.uh.edu inquires,
with some trepidation:

As far as I know, the only compatibility problem here is with sound: 6.0.7
incorporates the new System 7.0 Sound Manager, and anything 1.2.5 does with
sound (beeps, "play", etc.) may cause a crash under 6.0.7. As far as I can
tell, there are no other problem areas for this combination; however, no
warranty expressed or implied.

Actually, unless you have one of the new Macs that requires it (Classic, IIsi
or LC), there's no real reason you need to upgrade to 6.0.7. 6.0.5 is
compatible with both 1.2.5 and 2.0.
