I just read an article in MacWeek that some of you may find interesting. Included below are a few key paragraphs: ----- RDI Computer Corp. is erecting a bridge from Macs to Sun workstations, announcing software this week that lets users run Mac programs from SPARC-based systems for the first time. Companion, which runs under Sun's SunView or Open Windows operating systems, will work like a Mac SE or Classic by emulating the Mac's 68000 processor, RDI said. .... Companion will be available Feb. 1 bundled with an SBus card that includes a Mac Classic ROM for $1695. A software-only version will be available in early March for $895... ... Schramek added that RDI has not had any legal challenge from Apple regarding its Mac emulation. RDI Computer Corp. is at 6696 Mesa Ridge Road, Building A, San Diego, Calif. 92121. Phone (619)944-6381; fax (619)558-8943. ----- If anyone has any information or speculation on NeXT software for Mac emulation, from RDI or other developers, please email me or post to the net.
