Andy, 
  I'm not sure why, but the Macintosh port of Oberon demands a 68020.  I d/led
it for my Mac+ (with 4MB) and was surprised that it wouldn't work there.  I went
and ran it on a Mac II (68020) at school, and it looks very interesting.  The
only problem seems to be the 68020.  Perhaps someone with Mr. Small's 68030
board could take a look at MacOberon, and see if it runs on that platform.  (As
an aside, I was also frustrated when I found out that MacOberon demands a
control key as well, so even if I got a 68030 accelerator for my Mac, I still
couldn't run it, as I don't have a control key...8(   )

  My ST COULD run it, I suppose, with Mr small's board....*sigh*...maybe he
OUGHT to consider the idea of bringing his own machine out, with the best of
both worlds.  At least, he could do no worse than these other companies...
