ST to be about 70% compatable with a mac. It is called "Magic Sac", and
it is pretty amazing. They are currently working on a "black box" that
will hook up between a ST's external drive and the main system, allowing
it to directly read and write _800k_ Mac disks. 400k disks will probably
never be supported, for a several reasons.
   They are also working on a version of the Magic Sac itself for the
Amiga, which should be out by the end of this year. Whether or not they
will have a similar interface for the Amiga remains to be seen. Hopefully
they will, because right now users of the Magic Sac have three formats to
deal with: ST, Mac and Magic.
   I want one!
