RISCy enough? I have SoftPC on my NeXT right now. At that speed, even the UNIX Apple IIe emulator is tolerable. And, speaking of emulation, RDI systems is going to be shipping a Mac software emulator for the NeXT in the near future. Vaporware? No - they're already shipping a ROM-based version for the Sun/3. -Declan
