I am curious if someone out there can shed some light on how Apple might
continue to support their toolbox scheme for dealing with hardware and
yet offer an 88open ABI compliant system assuming they are building
an 88K based Macintosh. Not being an expert in programming or the Mac
or the 88K, maybe I'm missing something, but it would appear to me that
they would be able to do one or the other; not both.
