I've been using it for a couple of months, and it works great on
my system (Mac II, "Toby" video card, Magnavox monitor).

MaxAppleZoom, as nice as it is, can't deal with the newer video cards.
The last I heard from him, Naoto Horii was working on getting it to
work on more cards, but this isn't easy.

I've also noted that the Mac II video utility cdev doesn't seem to
work with newer cards.
