PEASE

***PEASE** Pippin Compatible Kit* (or ***PEase***, short for *Pippin Ease*) is a CD-ROM-based shell which allows Pippin consoles to launch applications from a simplified alternative to the Macintosh Finder desktop. It resembles Apple Computer's own *At Ease* launcher.

## Development

*PEASE* was developed by Maki Enterprise, which referred to the project as "Tiny OS". A demo version was included on *Pippin SDK CD DR1*, which was released in Japan in May 1996. The demo was authored with *Party* by Maki Enterprise.

## Features

*PEASE* is bundled with utility applications, such as an Appleshare server tool and a flash memory backup tool. Printing from the Pippin is supported through a limited number of Apple printers. It supports saving data to a floppy disk or MO drive through a Pippin expansion dock. *PEASE* can also launch the Finder as an application (if the filetype of the latter is changed to APPL).

### Games

The following games are included on the CD-ROM:

* *Gold Digger*
* *Gold Pusher* (restricted shareware)
* *Invaders!*
* *MacPipes 2.0.2*
* *Shatterball*
* *Tangram 3.2*
* *Tetris Plus*

## Releases

*PEASE* version 001 was the first to be released in 1996 as a standalone product for the Pippin.

On June 15, 1996, *PEASE* version 002 was bundled with Pippin Atmark consoles sold in Japan in a new lower-priced "Atmark body set". It was nearly identical to the original release, except for the addition of a "Tablet Paint" (タブレツトペイント) HyperCard stack and support for the keyboard and tablet.

In January and March 1997, *PEASE* was included on the *Mac Bin* CD-ROMs bundled with the Japanese edition of *MacUser* to allow Pippin consoles to navigate the disc contents. Support for *PEASE* was discontinued on April 1, 1997, after the introduction of its successor *PEASE Turbo*.

## *PEASE Turbo*

***PEASE Turbo*** (version 2001) is a substantial update from the original release of *PEASE* that shipped on November 30, 1996. However, it was not made available as an upgrade for existing users. It adds support for QuickTime audio and video media, and improves support for launching applications networking. It works with Pippin ROMs from rev. 1.0 to 1.3, but rev. 1.2 or later is required for MO drive support.
