It shows the maximum operating system for each model of computer.  In
reality, it is probably the amount of RAM in your powerbooks that will limit
you.  Even though a 68K will run OS 8.1, I won't install it with less than
32 Mb RAM.  Any PowerPC can run OS 9.1, but I don't install it without 64 Mb
RAM!  In a PowerBook, this may be your real limiting factor.
