Ok now that Apple has realized the ][ line is dead, they are going to start 
pushing the Mac LC with the Apple ][ emulator card. What I would like to 
know is why Atari won't want to try the same. How much work would it take 
to put a 65C02 on a cadrtridge, and write the necessary software? Since GBS 
has figured out how to write GCR disks, with it you could run ProDOS also 
in the ST's drives.

With the new Mega STe, it could really be a Mac LC killer, all it has to do 
is take the educational world by storm. Schools will like the idea of 
being able to buy two Megas for the price of one LC. (The price that was 
being quoted in Comp.sys.apple2 was $3500 with 2 megs and a 60 meg hard 
drive!!)
