Mayo Clinic Family Health Book, version Mac 1.2 -- This is the CD-ROM edition of the classic home medical reference from the famous Mayo Clinic published for about thirty years. Version 1.2 is an adaptation from the first printed edition of 1990.

Excerpt from the "How to Use This Book" chapter:
"This book is about answers: Mayo Clinic Family Health Book is designed to provide you with the kind of authoritative, comprehensive, and reliable information you need to live a healthier life. (...)

Compatibility: 

There is no information about minimum requirements inside the CD but it should run with a strong 68k processor and System 7, considering its release date.

QuickTime 1.5 or later is required.
Monitor must be set to 256 colors.

Tested with some issues on:
• Basilisk II for MacOSX w/System 7.5.5

Description excerpted from the Amazon website:

"Join Host Francis Dumaurier and 14 wine experts as they take you on a fascinating and informative journey into the world of wine. (...)

Hands-on demonstrations unlock the secrets of serving wine, while color maps, videos, photos and charts enhance, aid and inform. Moreover, easy-to-read windows help you check the spelling of special words and names."

ISO file retrieved from the Internet Archive. Mac/PC hybrid disc.

Compatibility: 

There is no information about minimum requirements on the disc [inlay not available] except that it needs QuickTime 3.0 or later. This software is however clearly not compatible with 68k processors since it is based on Macromedia Director 7.0. Should run fine on MacOS8 since it has been finalized in summer 1999, a few months before the release of MacOS9.

Tested successfully on SheepShaver for MacOSX w/MacOS 9.0.4 albeit sound is slightly choppy.
