To use this product on one of these newer systems, you will need to copy the data to a thumb drive from a system using Windows 98 or older and then copy it to your hard drive on your newer system (or keep it all on the thumb drive.) There is a software product called SKYMAP that claims to be able to read and display the data. You can readily find this information by doing a GOOGLE search for Real Sky.
I do not know if this software can be read on current Macs or if UNIX or LINUX system can read the software. For someone interested in astronomy, this is really a neat piece of software to have in a collection.
I have installed and tested the software, see picture 2, on February 27, 2018. I have taken very good care of them. The scratch on the front of the case was already there when I purchased the software - new.
Product Description:This sky survey is rare and out of print. The survey has been superseded by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. In cooperation with both the Space Telescope Science Institute and the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, a compressed version of the Digitized Sky Survey data, appropriately named RealSky. This set of nine CD-ROM's (eight for data and one for software) contains the E band (red) plates from the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey, compressed by a factor of 100, and it also contains RealSkyView — a software package that you can use to display and process the images. For the first time, everyone has access to the actual deep-sky survey plates used by research astronomers!
