YES!
We are interested in a shareware mac emulator, if it supports the 128k roms.

(I have had no luck with uucp addresses, which probably means others have
 tried to reach you through e-mail and failed also!)

BUT I am not interested in paying $10 (for the cart) $150 (for the 128k roms
or $50 for 64k) plus the $30-$40 (shareware fee) that you deserve...
 
If I wanted a 64k rom mac emulator, I could pick up a Magic Sac plus, WITH
roms!!, for approx. $40 !!

The reason I don't own a Spectre GCR, =Sigh=, today is cause I don't have
 the cash!!! (but OH do I want one!!!)

**********

Now, if your product supported the 128k roms, sound, an easy AND compatible
way to bring MAC files to it (I find the magic format acceptable), and any
other bells and wistles you'd like to add, I would be INTERESTED, BUT NOT
A BUYER.

We have determined that something is wrong (for lack of a more exciting word)
with the cart. port on my 1040St.  Thus, digitizers, 3d glasses, roms for
emulators, and anything else you can think of (that fit into the cart. port)
are useless to my machine.

I am saying that supporting 128k roms on disk, would help me, and would most
likely make me a SUPPORTER of your shareware product. (I'm not telling you
that you should give out the 128k roms file!!)

Others with working ports want to keep them in that condition by keeping
cart swaps to a minimum (I did NOT wear out this port, but I have worn out
the ports in my INTELLIVISION and my TI-99/4A  <GRIN>  {remember those?}).

That is how I feel,
that is what I want,
and this is where I am:
