What I need is the vendor name and >hopefully the rag in which I read the article (or anyone else read such an >article.) This came from an article in MacWeek (I don't recall the date). 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. -----
