Does anyone know any more about the company which has developed a
cartridge that plugs into the ST, allowing it to run Macintosh software?
There was a small item on this in the March 30th San Jose Mercury computer
section and someone told me that the product works successfully with
MacWrite and MacPaint.  However the obstacle facing mass production is
the approval of Apple, which seems to be necessary in order for this
company to distribute their product with the Macintosh ROMs.  Wouldn't
it be possible for them to sell the cartridge without the ROMs and let
the buyer purchase and install them?  I have also heard that there
will be a demo of this cartridge (MacCartridge?) at the West Coast
Computer Faire.  Anyone know about that?
