	This is FANTASTIC news; an Amiga Magic Sac that can read Mac disks
directly would be GREAT.  Copy protected software would still be a problem,
however, but there are many well-behaved programs (such as Lightspeed C, etc.)
which would probably run fine.  I surely hope a Mac emulator can be done
with relative ease; it should be possible---and QuickDraw could even conceivably
be rewritten to utilize the blitter!  Dream on.
