I think it emulates Mac Puss (now that's sic) but I could be wrong. Perhaps the
later release does an SE.

If you really want a Mac, buy one. If you want something reasonably cheap that
will run Mac, PC and ATARI software, buy an ST, but remember that a lot of Mac
software has some nasty copy protection and software that strobes the disk
drive motor to change speed may not work on the ST.
