Presto 040 Software

If you're considering purchasing a Presto 68040 processor upgrade card, you'll need to make sure to also get the Presto 040 Software. This is a required part of the upgrade process, and must be installed alongside your new processor.

The Presto 040 Software is easy to install, and will add several key components to your System Folder. These include the Presto Extension and Presto 8 Enabler (both of which will be installed in your Extensions Folder), as well as the Virtual Enabler (which will be installed in your System Folder).

One of the main benefits of the Presto 8 Enabler is that it will enable you to use Mac OS 8 (which may be important depending on your specific use case). Additionally, the Virtual Enabler will allow you to take advantage of virtual memory or RAM Doubler on supported computers (with the exception of the Macintosh LC).

It's worth noting that if you want to ensure you have the most up-to-date information about the software, you should check the onscreen Read Me notes included with the installer. Overall, if you're upgrading your processor, the Presto 040 Software is an essential part of ensuring a smooth and successful upgrade process.
