It has been available since the beginning of the week. This is not the
old 7.5.3 "update" but a brand new series of 19 disk images that are a
full install.

The answer again is yes, though there may be a semi-recent model with a
quirk. As to the low end, assume 2MB minimum and there is not a whole lot
of breathing room at that number. 68000 processor or up, so yes, even a
Mac Plus or SE

If you have a Mac, classic or not, and it isn't your primary computer,
you might be loathe to pay big money for demonstration programs. If you
have a modem on that Mac or a way to download and transfer, then this may
be your answer.

Nisus is up to version 5 something and they are using the earlier one as
a promo. I don't remember the minimum requirements but it may be a 68020.
