I would like to be able to get to the graphics on these discs through a search portal. Can I install a backward comparable legacy OS on a boot drive? The earliest OS I have is Leopard or SN, not sure which. I am running mavericks right now on a MP 2009. I bought it off ebay for a good price, but I can't install it. I have some legacy software called art explosion 750K. Nisus Writer, available on the Mac App Store, is just as fast as WriteNow was back in the '90s, as are most word processors these 2.com› Download Sheepshaver Mac Os 9 Rom Download - Download Software 2016 ▀ ▀ Since the '90s I've been using Nisus Writer Pro when I need to write something linearly (i.e., not with Scrivener), and it still looks a lot like WriteNow, but it has most of the capabilities of Microsoft Word, which you can ignore and hide if you don't use it. Older versions of Mac OS X are probably better, since Mariner hasn't updated most of their software in quite a while. I've been running Mariner Write version 3.8.0 on Snow Leopard, which they don't have among their downloads, but one of those listed should work on any Mac running Mohave or older. You can still download Mariner Write from the Mariner Software website atĪnd they link to a TidBits article on running 32-bit apps in Catalina using Parallels.

(I can still run AppleWorks 6.2.9 using Rosetta in Snow Leopard, which is REALLY fun!) But I still use it occasionally, for old times' sake, on my MacBook Air running Mac OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, and it's still a lot of fun. I finally switched to Mariner Write, which was very similar to WriteNow and just as fast! But last year Mariner Software pulled Mariner Write off of the Mac App Store when Mac OS Catalina came out, since Write is a 32-bit app. Very slow the last time I used it, with Mac OS 9 and an early version of OS X on it. I probably have WriteNow on my old blueberry iMac but I haven't powered that up in a decade. Back then, whenever the little computer store in my local Mall had copies of WriteNow on sale in its Macintosh section I would buy a copy, hoping that it was an upgrade, but it never was.

My PowerBook 100's screen died so I can't use WriteNow on that any more. I used to use WriteNow to write short pieces back in the System 7/OS 8 days in the 1990s.
