I recently read about ROMLIB , a macintosh emulator for SUNS and other
flavors of unix.  I believe it was in c.s.i.announce, or something.

Anyway, the author mentioned that it had been tested semi-successfully with
other types of unix than SUN,speciffically mentioning that it could even
be used with AU/X to emulate a macintosh of a macintosh.  I think he even
mentioned that it was kind of eerie to see several macintosh screens stacked 
up on a large monitor in UNIX windows.  Sort of the ultimate multifinder....

SO!  My question (finally...) is:  Does this mean that eventually there'll
be a mac emulator for the NeXT?  Personally, I think that a mac emulator
and a disk drive that'd read mac disks (I know, there's one available...)
would sell a hell of a lot of computers.

Anyone?
