The information that Declan supplied about the Duet is quite interesting.
I understand that this product is actually being developed.  I'm sure
we'll hear more after Kansasfest, since CirTech seems to be distributed
exclusively by A2.Central.

Not everyone is interested in having their Apple II run Macintosh 
software, but I would imagine there are quite a number of people that
such a device would appeal to, especially those who work on Macintoshes
in the office.  I suppose it will all depend on how good a device the
Duet is.  How will it handle the higher resolution of a Mac?   And how
much is this card going to cost?  How compatible will it really be? 

The PC Transporter is a useful device; however, it is no substitute
for the real thing.

I doubt Apple would discourage the development of the device.  After 
all, having more people using Macintosh-like devices will encourage
Macintosh sales.  I think they (Apple Computer, Inc.) are finally getting
the message that the more Macintosh users, the better. 

A friend of mine had a similar Macintosh emulator hooked up to his
Atari ST.  He now owns a Mac SE/30 (he got bored with using the emulator,
and opted for the real thing).

I'd rather see a Macintosh emulator for the GS, then a Mac that runs GS
software.
