Hehe, tried most of those about a month ago (think I got same link from an YT vid, iirc) :D

At least one of them (F56) is requiring FPU and won't work with the software Q87 one.
The rest, mileage will vary, from crawling (Blue)/graphical glitching (M-OS 98) to work just fine afaik (and ofc, usability varies as well from case to case).
Tested under DOS 7.1, with multiple mem managers setup.

Dang, "Rush" was certainly not shy about borrowing design elements from the Macintosh Finder wholesale, huh? :D

Well macintosh stole first from Xerox Park :lol:

But it's kind of Wind-intosh, because of the icons :lol:
