Terra Soft Unifies Power Ecosystem with YDL v5.0.2: Announcement 14 June 2007

[Paul Robert]

I'm a complete newbie so I can't help you with your first question, but
I'm running YDL 5.0.1 on a G3 imac (bubble type) 450/256 without too
much trouble. No experience with a Pisio. Applications sometimes take a
while to open, but it sure beats OS9 with no software.
