Of all the early Macintosh multitasking solutions, the most astounding and puzzling event was the sudden appearance of Multi-Mac in late 1985 - after Switcher, but well before Servant and MultiFinder. It had a copyright from an unknown company, "Aubrac Systems", and was written by a previously unknown developer "Jwa van der Vuurst". Since the code makes hundreds of undocumented calls to the ROM, many people suspect the claimed authorship to be an alias, covering clandestine development from inside Apple.

Compatibility:

Requires a 64K ROM.

Extensive testing has revealed that Multi-Mac will work with the following versions of System Software:

Finder 4.1 & System 2.0
Finder 4.1 & System 3.2
Finder 4.1 & System 3.3
Finder 1.1g & System 2.0
Finder 1.1g & System 3.2
Finder 1.1g & System 3.3
