   Has anyone bothered to check to see whether or not MAC System 7.0 works
on any of the MAC emulators for the Atari ST?  If 7.0 works on the ST
emulators but not on A-Max, then it means that the incompatibilities 
between 7.0 and A-Max are due mainly to quirks with A-Max, and would thus
be easy to correct.  If, however, 7.0 also does not work on the MAC 
emulators for the ST, then Apple must have implemented some code to
specifically detect whether or not it is running on a genuine MAC.  If
this latter is the case, then the code could be so tightly woven into
7.0 that getting 7.0 to work on anything other than a genuine MAC could
be difficult.

   It would be nice if someone who has access to an ST with a MAC 
emulator could overcome their misgivings about the machine long enough to
check to see whether or not 7.0 runs on it.  The results could yield
some light into the question of how easy it will be to get 7.0 running
on the Amiga under A-Max.
