For this exploration of Classic MacOS programming I wanted to aim for relatively early (more late 80s) to capture much of the feel of the early Mac platform, tooling, and APIs, but not *too* early because developing software on an 8MHz floppy-only platform with 512K-1024K ram is pretty rough (more pain than nostalgia).
I was thinking System 6 and an '020 or '030 machine, and found an LC III on ebay and pulled the trigger before realizing that meant System 7.1 minimum.
