As the title says. I have permission from the wifey to set up a plus for my son to use on a desk *in the house!* 8-o
The plus has 4MB RAM but I want to keep it limited to just programs that will operate off a floppy(don't have an external HDD, also want to keep the clutter down) Son is a first grader, need some good math (adding/subtracting) and reading/word games to try to find, just don't now what I should be looking for.
One day he'll get the SE/30,which will open up more possibilities, but I have to fix it first...

The old Math Blaster series would probably work, as would the Success With Math series... Does the computer have an external floppy like an Apple 3.5 Drive (A9M0106) on it? That would allow the computer to run 6.0.8 and not have to be booted each time to run a different educational program.

spent a few hours just working on getting my 10.5 server and PB180 to talk to each other... gave up and turned FTP on. ad time to try word munchers, just under 800k, but I can't find a floppy in good enough shape to have the room for it, closest I got was 3k needed xx(
but... looks like I will have a powerbook 165 to give to the kiddo instead. he'll be able to run a bunch of stuff. 😎

Ah, ok... I assume you were doing a Disk Copy image of Word Munchers onto the floppy?
Anyway, yeah, the 165 is probably a better option.
