MacLux is MultiFinder compatible. MacLux will run on a minimum Mac Plus with System 6.0.x. MacLux is compatible with system 7.0. Color portions of MacLux are only available on Macs with color QuickDraw. This includes an SE/30, LC or any Mac II. For color to work properly, 32 bit QuickDraw must be installed. Sound notes are available on Macs running system 6.07 and later. To record notes, sound input hardware is required.
On a monochrome Mac, as little as 400K is required to run. With 8 bit color, 800-1000k; 24 bit color, 1800k-2000k or more. Multiple monitors eat up more memory, especially in 24 bit mode!! Not enough memory can, in severe cases, cause MacLux to lock up when it is first launched.
